Download or read book City Water City Life written by Carl Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A city is more than a massing of citizens, a layout of buildings and streets, or an arrangement of political, economic, and social institutions. It is also an infrastructure of ideas that are a support for the beliefs, values, and aspirations of the people who created the city. In City Water, City Life, celebrated historian Carl Smith explores this concept through an insightful examination of the development of the first successful waterworks systems in Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago between the 1790s and the 1860s. By examining the place of water in the nineteenth-century consciousness, Smith illuminates how city dwellers perceived themselves during the great age of American urbanization. But City Water, City Life is more than a history of urbanization. It is also a refreshing meditation on water as a necessity, as a resource for commerce and industry, and as an essential—and central—part of how we define our civilization.

Book excerpt: Combining insights from urban, western, and environmental history, Elkind examines the ways that people's reactions to their natural surroundings drive both demand for improved public services and political reform. She traces public works development in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era to explain how these programs united each city with its suburban neighbors, creating new political entities and allowing Boston and Oakland to appropriate rural resources and thus overcome the environmental limits to their continued growth and prosperity. She also shows how, when the power of regionalism is turned to urban development, environmental and social costs are sometimes overlooked.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Present Project of the City Government for Supplying the Inhabitants of Boston With Pure Soft Water The Act which has recently been obtained from the Legislature, for supplying the City with Pure Water, is soon to be submitted to the inhabitants, for approval or rejection. Their action upon it will be final, and, moreover, will conclude interests of greater magnitude than any which have yet been affected by a popular vote, since the organization of the City Government. My connection with the Council, the past year, as a member of the Board of Aldermen, has necessarily given me some opportunities, not enjoyed by others, of forming a judgment upon the whole subject of the water movement; and, as there are some indications that the public mind is now disposed to consider this matter with somewhat of the attention and calmness which its magnitude and importance imperiously demand, I am induced to make a few remarks upon its present character and position. Some of the projectors and zealous friends of Long Pond, have chosen to adopt the opinion, which they have been studious to enforce, as far as possible, that all persons who have opposed that project, or who, perceiving objections to some portions of it, have desired further investigation, are necessarily opposed to bringing water from abroad, from any source, and have no sympathy whatever for those among us who are deprived, in whole or in part, of this great blessing.

Download or read book Eden on the Charles written by Michael Rawson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drinking a glass of tap water, strolling in a park, hopping a train for the suburbs: some aspects of city life are so familiar that we don’t think twice about them. But such simple actions are structured by complex relationships with our natural world. The contours of these relationships—social, cultural, political, economic, and legal—were established during America’s first great period of urbanization in the nineteenth century, and Boston, one of the earliest cities in America, often led the nation in designing them. A richly textured cultural and social history of the development of nineteenth-century Boston, this book provides a new environmental perspective on the creation of America’s first cities. Eden on the Charles explores how Bostonians channeled country lakes through miles of pipeline to provide clean water; dredged the ocean to deepen the harbor; filled tidal flats and covered the peninsula with houses, shops, and factories; and created a metropolitan system of parks and greenways, facilitating the conversion of fields into suburbs. The book shows how, in Boston, different class and ethnic groups brought rival ideas of nature and competing visions of a “city upon a hill” to the process of urbanization—and were forced to conform their goals to the realities of Boston’s distinctive natural setting. The outcomes of their battles for control over the city’s development were ultimately recorded in the very fabric of Boston itself. In Boston’s history, we find the seeds of the environmental relationships that—for better or worse—have defined urban America to this day.
