HS 545 The City in American History

This seminar explores the development of urban society in North America from colonial commercial towns to today’s troubled network of older metropolitan centers and suburbs. Topics for study and discussion may include the shaping of modern cities through growth, migration, and politics; cultures—ethnic, class, commercial, and otherwise—of the city; suburbanization and the “urban crisis;” and the future of urban America.
