History of American City-building

Instructor:
Michael Holleran

Planning history often focuses on utopias, reforms, and precedents, and design history on the superlative and the avant garde. This course looks instead at changing norms: how the ordinary environment was ordinarily produced, and by whom. Its focus is the United States from the early 19th century to the 1960s.
