商品簡介
At the close of the nineteenth century, industrialization and urbanization marked theend of the traditional understanding of society as rooted in agriculture. Urban Modernity examinesthe construction of an urban-centered, industrial-based culture--an entirely new social realitybased on science and technology. The authors show that this invention of modernity was brought aboutthrough the efforts of urban elites--businessmen, industrialists, and officials--to establish newscience- and technology-related institutions. International expositions, museums, and other suchinstitutions and projects helped stem the economic and social instability fueled byindustrialization, projecting the past and the future as part of a steady continuum of scientificand technical progress. The authors examine the dynamic connecting urban planning, museums,educational institutions, and expositions in Paris, London, Chicago, Berlin, and Tokyo from 1870 to1930. In Third Republic Paris, politicians, administrators, social scientists, architects, andengineers implemented the future city through a series of commissions, agencies, and organizations;in rapidly expanding London, cultures of science and technology were both rooted in and constitutiveof urban culture; in Chicago after the Great Fire, Commercial Club members pursued civic idealsthrough scientific and technological change; in Berlin, industry, scientific institutes, and thepopularization of science helped create a modern metropolis; and in Meiji-era Tokyo (Edo),modernization and Westernization went hand in hand.
