Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crisis: Or the Enemies of America Unmasked The most remarkable of all the circumstances, which distinguish our own country from others, is its rapid growth. In the begining of the seventeenth century it was a wilderness, inhabited only by savages and wild beasts. In the middle of the nineteenth, it rivals the oldest and proudest nations of the world in population, wealth, intelligence and industry. When the territory of the United States was first trodden by the settlers of Virginia, England, France and Germany could boast centuries upon centuries of cultivation, with some little knowledge of civil and religious freedom. Since that period America has shown the birth, childhood, youth and manhood of a model republic, which Europe has repeatedly but vainly endeavored to copy. All this implies rapid progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Cities for Old: City Building in Terms of Space, Time, and Money I have served on numerous professional committees on these subjects. I have de signed a number of large public housing projects and about an equal number of privately financed housing projects. I have had the opportunity of observing the financial methods of speculative builders. For the past ten years I have studied the con icting claims of both public and pri vate housers. I was led to undertake a study of urban reconstruction because I became convinced that the question of what to do with slums was merely a part of the question of what to do with cities and that this, in turn, was merely a part of a still broader question: Can we best preserve our system of private enterprise by drifting or by attempting to solve our problems?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoroughly unique perspective to the study of cities, this is the only available book that discusses how space is used in America and how it changes as the logic of location evolves historically. Bartlett starts with the assumption that cities are fundamentally unnatural phenomena and unravels the interactions of technological advances that have made cities possible and the policies that have given them shape. Bartlett examines --how current policies respond to and affect the organization of space (covering housing, transportation, government, and other urban issues) --the future of American cities: how they will impact and be impacted on by changing commercial and labor markets and by the problems of poverty and cultural change --the difficulties in and possibilities for overcoming social dilemmas where the best choices for individuals may lead to outcomes that are collectively worse. Anyone concerned about the future of America's cities will find this book invaluable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern City and Its Problems IN so far as this volume carries a message it is that the American city lags behind the work it should properly perform. It is negative in its func tions, rather than positive in its services. It has been stripped of power and responsibility. It is politically weak and lacks ideals of its possibilities. It has so little concern for its people that they in turn have little concern for it. We have failed to differentiate between those activities which are pri vate and those which are public. We have failed, too, to provide protection to the individual from in equalities of power and position, and have left him a prey to forces as dangerous to his life and comfort as those against which the police are employed to protect. Further than this, we have failed to shift to society the burdens of industry which the com ing of the city has created. We have permitted the sacrifice of low wages, irregular employment, and disease to be borne by the individual rather than by the community. Those who suffer from these conditions are in reality a vicarious sacrifice; a sacrifice which society has no right to accept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original work on American cities and the ongoing "urban crisis". Using the metaphor of the socially constructed organization of space, Bartlett takes a broad view of the evolution of urban America, from its historical roots to the present; he then examines the way in which current policies have responded to, and affected the organization of space (covering housing, transportation, government and other urban problems). He concludes with a look to the future of American cities, how they will impact and be impacted on by changing commercial and labor markets, by the problems of poverty and cultural change. In an epilogue, he explores possible ways to overcome the "social dilemmas", while recognizing the difficulty of this undertaking. A thoroughly unique perspective to the study of cities, this book is about how space is used in America and how it changes as the "logic of location" evolves historically. Starting with the assumption that cities are fundamentally unnatural" phenomena, it unravels the interactions of technological advances that have made them possible and policies that have given them shape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housing Plans for Cities Any causes which restrict the opportunity for home owning strike at the foundations of modern industrial life. Workers who are not home owners are more easily subject to all the cross currents of unrest and radicalism. They lack the stamina and conservatism that home owning gives. They are constantly shifting. Employers know what this costs industry. Unfortunately, present-day conditions have tended to restrict home owning. Perhaps it would be too much to say that inadequate housing is at the bottom of the present industrial unrest, but no one can doubt it has been a large, determining fac tor.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New City: Principles of Planning All human settlements depend, in their growth and in their decline, on social, spiritual, political, and economic forces. These forces are influenced by the status of technics, by the forms of production and consumption, and by the means of transportation available to the settlement builders. This interdependence of social and technological forces is expressed in all kinds of culture and varies only with the variations of the predominant elements. We can see that this is true as we study cities of the past. They are unlike cities of today, but they show that, as each new order comes into existence, changes in urban development become both possible and necessary. This process is clear wherever we find settlements of men. Students have tended to limit research to large settlements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulls and Bears of New York: With the Crisis of 1873, and the Cause One hundred and eighty-five years ago the short, narrow, and un attractive looking thoroughfare, known as Wall Street, was laid out, when Dongan was Governor of His Majesty's Colonies. It sprang at once into importance, as the centre of authority, fashion, and finance. From that time, it has held its repute in the financial, political, and social affairs of the metropolis. I have chosen to consider it as the great centre from which radiate all the influences that affect society in New York. Here the Government of the United States was founded, and Washington held his first court. The early churches were grouped within its influence. The eminent men of the nation here resided and administered law and justice. Wall Street, today, is the most potent thoroughfare on this continent. Its daily transactions are telegraphed to every city in the Union, from the sea-board of the Atlantic to the shores of the Pacific - to the most northern city of civilization, amid the Arctic snows, down to the warm waters of the Equator, across the Atlantic, and to the capital of every commercial city-ih the world. Wall Street is a type of our nationality. Its Operators are men of every clime, of every nation, of every tongue, and of every religion. It is the Cloth of Gold, on which hostile sects, and nations antagonistic, meet in peace. The history of Wall Street is the history of our national, political, and social organization. To write the first chapter of this book, I had to consult over one hundred volumes, in the great libraries of the city; for a compact, continuous history of Wall Street to the present time, elsewhere than now in this book, does not exist. Bankers, men who buy and sell on the street, and many who have had a name among brokers for half a century, have aided me in this work. Diaries, private memoranda.
