Opis

Chicago's rapid growth in the mid-nineteenth century was countered by cholera outbreaks, swampy roads, and poor living conditions. This title offers an account of the birth and growth of Chicago's suburbs, the governments that developed to service them, and the ideas that guided early urban development.
