By the 1890s thinking about urban planning and social control gravitated between a bleak assessment that led to coercive strategies and a hopeful evaluation that stressed the value of environmental betterment as a means of urban moral control.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Book. 9 1/4 h x 6 1/4w. A nice 387 page first edition hardcover. Dust jacket has some edge wear and a tape repaired tear and still looks nice. Book is real nice but has some light pencil marks that could be erased. Overall a nice book. For over a century, dark visions of moral collapse and social disintegration in American cities spurred an anxious middle class to search for ways to restore order. In this important book, Paul Boyer explores the links between the urban reforms of the Progressive era and the long efforts of prior generations to tame the cities. He integrates the ideologies of urban crusades with an examination of the careers and the mentalities of a group of vigorous activists.
