The industrial city was badly planned No zoning laws Not many building codes No regulation of density Overcrowding Crowded, dirty, unhealthy Tenements New York City’s 10th Ward – 1890 524 per acre

The industrial city was very dirty Poor drinking water Poor sanitation Poor air quality Frequent fires Animal waste Disease Political Corruption Corrupt Police

II. The Promise Some technology had a positive impact on urban life Electric streetcar (late 1880s) Enable cities to spread out “Streetcar Suburbs” From “walking city” to “segregated city” segregated by class, race, ethnicity, and function

Technology enable cities to grow upward Steel-framed skeletons Passenger elevators Plumbing advances Central heating First Skyscrapers ◆ Chicago ◆ San Francisco

Urban identity and urban pride Professional Sports Teams ◆ Baseball, basketball, and football Local newspapers William Randolph Hearst Joseph Pulitzer ◆ impassioned story telling ◆ sensational headlines ◆ simple, quick stories ◆ comic strips ◆ sports
