Opis

This work surveys the 200-year history of company towns in the United States - a crucial chapter in the increasingly important area of urban studies. Crawford analyzes the development of the towns in a complex framework involving economic, social and ideological influences: including industrial restructuring and geographic shifts, issues of immigration and ethnic division, and the appearance of state intervention where style and symbolism began to shape the face of urban architecture.
