The main purpose of this book is to demonstrate how in industrializing countries over the last 150 years, a particular type of maritime leisure resort was developed. Such resorts originally evolved to satisfy the new ethical values of the rising bourgeoisie and became a significant cultural influence in the adoption of a more amenityoriented lifestyle for an increasing percentage of social classes. The author draws on detailed information from Bournemouth on the English South Coast, Nice in the South of France, and Los Angeles in the USA, and also discusses Wiesbaden, a German spa town, for comparative purposes. These developments subsequently had a direct bearing on the international town planning movement. They also created a wide variety of semiskilled occupational opportunities and a postindustrial lifestyle that combined extensive leisure facilities with the development of professional service industries and infrastructures.The book makes a highly original contribution to the literature and will interest those concerned with the history of leisure and tourism, urban geography and planning.
