The New City

Description

Professor Miller explores the tension between the messy vitality of cities that grow on their own and those where orderly growth is planned. Chicago-with Hull House, the World's Columbian Exposition, the new female workforce, the skyscraper, the department store, and unfettered capitalism-is the place to watch a new world in the making at the turn of the century.
