Product Description In this work, Eric Sandweiss scrutinizes the everyday landscape streets, houses, neighbourhoods and public buildings as it evolved in the American city of St Louis. He shows how the processes of dividing, trading, improving and dwelling on land are acts that reflect and shape human relations. From the Publisher The changing contours of a classic American city. From the Back Cover St. Louis's story stands for the story of all those cities whose ambitions and civic selfimage, forged from the growth of the mercantile and industrial eras, have been dramatically altered over time. More dramatically, perhaps, than mostbut in a manner shared by allSt. Louis's changing economic base, shifting population, and altered landscape have forced scholars, policymakers, and residents alike to acknowledge the transiency of what once seemed inexorable metropolitan trends: concentration, growth, accumulated wealth, and generally improved wellbeing. In this book, Eric Sandweiss scrutinizes the everyday landscapestreets, houses, neighborhoods, and public buildingsas it evolved in a classic American city. Bringing to life the spaces that most of us pass without noticing, he reveals how the processes of dividing, trading, improving, and dwelling upon land are acts that reflect and shape social relations. From its origins as a French colonial settlement in the eighteenth century to the present day, St. Louis offers a story not just about how our past is diagramed in brick and asphalt, but also about the American city's continuing viability as a place where the balance of individual rights and collective responsibilities can be debated, demonstrated, and adjusted for generations to come. About the Author Eric Sandweiss is the Director of Research at the Missouri Historical Society.
