Résumé:
Thios publication explores how Bostonians channeled country lakes through miles of pipeline to provide clean water; dredged the ocean to deepen the harbor; filled tidal flats and covered the peninsula with houses, shops, and factories; and created a metropolitan system of parks and greenways, facilitating the conversion of fields into suburbs. It shows how, in Boston, different class and ethnic groups brought rival ideas of nature and competing visions of a “city upon a hill” to the process of urbanization—and were forced to conform their goals to the realities of Boston’s distinctive natural setting. The outcomes of their battles for control over the city’s development were ultimately recorded in the very fabric of Boston itself. In Boston’s history, we find the seeds of the environmental relationships that—for better or worse—have defined urban America to this day.

This exploration of a vital part of American life tells us much about the people who left their mark on these spaces over a period of two and a half centuries and makes an important contribution to the knowledge of the architecture of the United States. From log cabin to high rise, the photographs and texts encompass modest Colonial buildings and flamboyant structures which are the reflections of properity and pride. The court house stands for the dignity of the law and the democratic principle and is the most significant single building widely distributed across the country.
