Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Inman Park, Atlanta's first planned suburb, is one closely tied with transportation ingenuity, trade, and the progressive determination of its citizens. Situated two miles east of downtown Atlanta, Inman Park was farmland when the Civil War ravaged its rolling hills. In the 1890s, Inman Park bloomed into Atlanta's first residential park, the location of choice for Atlanta's social elite. The growth of Atlanta, however, struck a blow to the development of this utopian suburb. By the mid-20th century, the suburb fell into dilapidation, abandoned by the prominent families of Atlanta. It was not until the 1970s that the neighborhood, like Atlanta itself, was raised from its ashes to become the celebrated example of Victorian restoration that it is today and was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The American suburban movement began in the early nineteenth [century] as a product of the advances in transportation, economics, public policy and construction. These early suburbs were defined by tree-lined streets, parks and open space, which created a country like setting in a semi-rural environment. Often accessed by streetcar, these historic suburbs have now been surrounded by development and urban sprawl. Inman Park is Atlanta's first suburb and is defined by the elements that represent the Streetcar suburbs. In 1890, when the neighborhood was developed by Joel Hurt, Inman Park sat two miles outside the central city and became a success by the mid 1890s. After the deed restrictions on the lots lapsed, the neighborhood went through a slow decline for almost sixty years until, in 1970, new homeowners started a campaign for it[s] rehabilitation. This project is a Historic Resource Survey of Inman Park. The survey includes 230 buildings within the boundaries of Joel Hurt's original suburb. This document also includes background information on the America suburban movement at a national and regional level and a developmental history of Inman Park including the recent rehabilitation. An analysis of the surveys was used to assess the integrity of Inman Park and to answer the question: was the rehabilitation of Inman Park successful?

Book excerpt: Back to the City: Issues in Neighborhood Renovation focuses on the policies, social issues, and approaches involved in the residential revitalization of inner cities. The book first offers information on an urban land institute survey of private-market housing renovation in central cities and reinvestment by long-time residents and newcomers. Considerations include character of neighborhood renewal, reasons for reinvestment timing, and an overview of the experience on private renewal. The selection also takes a look at the racial and socioeconomic changes in central-city housing, as well as changes in racial successions, limited support for urban revitalization, and characteristics of transition households. The publication reviews the case studies done at neighborhood resettlements in Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Columbus, Seattle, Charleston, and Philadelphia. Topics include residential mobility of new homeowners; neighborhoods in transitions; displacement; satisfaction with the neighborhood; contrasting conceptions of the neighborhood; and historic preservation and neighborhood. The selection is a dependable reference for geographers, urban planners, and sociologists.

Book Synopsis New Men, New Cities, New South by : Don H. Doyle
Download or read book New Men, New Cities, New South written by Don H. Doyle and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities were the core of a changing economy and culture that penetrated the rural hinterland and remade the South in the decades following the Civil War. In New Men, New Cities, New South, Don Doyle argues that if the plantation was the world the slaveholders made, the urban centers of the New South formed the world made by merchants, manufacturers, and financiers. The book's title evokes the exuberant rhetoric of New South boosterism, which continually extolled the "new men" who dominated the city-building process, but Doyle also explores the key role of women in defining the urban upper class. Doyle uses four cities as case studies to represent the diversity of the region and to illuminate the responses businessmen made to the challenges and opportunities of the postbellum South. Two interior railroad centers, Atlanta and Nashville, displayed the most vibrant commercial and industrial energy of the region, and both cities fostered a dynamic class of entrepreneurs. These business leaders' collective efforts to develop their cities and to establish formal associations that served their common interests forged them into a coherent and durable urban upper class by the late nineteenth century. The rising business class also helped establish a new pattern of race relations shaped by a commitment to economic progress through the development of the South's human resources, including the black labor force. But the "new men" of the cities then used legal segregation to control competition between the races. Charleston and Mobile, old seaports that had served the antebellum plantation economy with great success, stagnated when their status as trade centers declined after the war. Although individual entrepreneurs thrived in both cities, their efforts at community enterprise were unsuccessful, and in many instances they remained outside the social elite. As a result, conservative ways became more firmly entrenched, including a system of race relations based on the antebellum combination of paternalism and neglect rather than segregation. Talent, energy, and investment capital tended to drain away to more vital cities. In many respects, as Doyle shows, the business class of the New South failed in its quest for economic development and social reform. Nevertheless, its legacy of railroads, factories, urban growth, and changes in the character of race relations shaped the world most southerners live in today.
