�This book is based on my experiences as secretary of the interior up to the time I left office with the coming of a new administration in 2001. It makes the case, through the use of specific examples, for a more assertive and meaningful federal role in land use planning. And the book illustrates how that goal can be achieved, not by a lot of new legislation, but by reshaping existing federal programs that affect the way we use and develop our land and water resources- highway programs, farm programs, flood control, energy development, and urban programs to provide incentives for states to prepare land use and water resource plans that include open space, hazard mitigation, sustainable water supplies, and interconnected landscapes that sustain both wildlife and the human spirit.

L'œuvre de l'architecte, célébrée en vue de la faire accéder au rang du patrimoine mondial, laisse planer une ombre qui masque la perception des vies ordinaires du quartier. L'immeuble collectif dont il est question ici ressemble à l'unité d'habitation Le Corbusier. Toutefois, il n'en a que l'apparence. L'enquête ethnologique qui débuta au Corbusier, dernière unité d'habitation, s'est déplacée afin d'observer et d'écouter les locataires d'un habitat collectif ordinaire dont la vie s'estompe derrière le feu sacré du patrimoine Le Corbusier. Un regard porté sur la vie ordinaire des habitants du « grand H » amorce un questionnement sur les enjeux liés à notre mémoire, à son statut et à la nécessité d'une collecte sans concession.

Summary:
Nearly one in six Americans lives in "Megalopolis," an area of the northeastern United States along the I-95 corridor that includes the cities of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. Liquid City is the first book to examine the major changes that have taken place in this "Main Street of the Nation" over the last half century. In 1957, geographer Jean Gottman used the term "Megalopolis" to denote the Boston-to-Washington corridor. His seminal book, Megalopolis: The Urbanized Northeastern Seaboard of the United States, described the social, economic, and demographic characteristics of one of the largest city regions in the world. John Rennie Short juxtaposes Gottman's work with his own examination, providing a comprehensive assessment of the region's evolution. Particularly important is Short's use of the 2000 census data and his discussion of Megalopolis as a source of identity for the area's forty-nine million inhabitants. This clear and accessible book focuses on five main aspects of change in the region: population redistribution from cities to suburbs; economic restructuring as exemplified by the suburbanization of employment; the role of immigration; patterns of racial/ethnic segregation; and the processes of globalization that have made Megalopolis one of the world's most influential economies.

Summary:
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the Haymarket bombing of 1886, and the making and unmaking of the model town of Pullman — these remarkable events in what many considered the quintessential American city forced people across the country to confront the disorder that seemed inevitably to accompany urban growth and social change. In this book, Carl Smith explores the imaginative dimensions of these events as he traces the evolution of beliefs that increasingly linked city, disorder, and social reality in the minds of Americans. Studying a remarkable range of writings and illustrations, as well as protests, public gatherings, trials, hearings, and urban reform and construction efforts, Smith argues that these three events — and the public awareness of them — not only informed one another, but collectively shaped how Americans saw, and continue to see, the city.
