| Sumario: | "The book argues that the development of infrastructure in the late nineteenth century not only permitted cities to expand by annexing adjacent municipalities, but also further enhanced the ability of these suburban entities to break away and form independent municipalities. The process was crucial in creating a proliferation of municipalities within metropolitan regions." "The book thus shows that the roots of the urban crisis can be found in the interplay between technology, politics, and public works in the American city."--BOOK JACKET. |
