Urban Masses and Moral Order in America, 1820-1920
Paul Boyer
Boyer explores the links between urban reforms of the Progressive era and efforts of prior generations. 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.
