City Water, City Life: Water and the Infrastructure of Ideas in Urbanizing Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago
A city is more than a massing of citizens, a layout of buildings and streets, or an arrangement of political, economic, and social institutions. By examining the place of water in the nineteenth-century consciousness, the author illuminates how city dwellers perceived themselves during the great age of American urbanization.
