商品簡介
Though he says the US did an impressive job at finding room for an extra 200 million people during the 20th century, Rabinowitz believes with others that it could have done better than end up with the sprawly, inequitable metropolitan area that are scattered across the landscape. The first half of his treatment provides a context for urban development as it was understood by Americans about 1900. Then he chronicles the changes in political and economic life of the nation; and ends by discussing globalization, terrorism, and governance as they apply to American metropolises since the 9-11 attack.
