Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. University Press of Kansas, Lawrence, KS. 2004. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light bumping to lower tips. DJ: Near Fine; light bumping to head and tail; light rubbing to pan…els. Purple cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 480 pp 8vo. From Abilene to Wichita and beyond, a constellation of cities glitters across the fertile plains of Kansas. Their history is entwined with that of the state as a whole, and their size and status are rarely questioned. Yet as the author reveals, the evolution of urban Kansas remains a largely untold story of competition, rivalry, and metropolitan dreams. This book relates the history of Kansas's larger communities from the 1850s to the present. The first book to provide a comprehensive, comparative account of an entire state's urban development, it shows how Kansas's current hierarchy of cities and urban development emerged from a complex and ongoing series of promotional strategies. Railroads, the mining industry, the cattle trade-all exercised their influence over where and when these settlements were originally established. Drawing on rich historical research filtered through cultural geography, the author looks at the 118 communities that ever achieved a population of 2,500, and unravels the many factors that influenced the growth of urban Kansas. He tells how mercantilism dominated urban thinking in territorial days until after statehood, when cities competed for the capital, prisons, universities, and other institutions. He also shows how geography and size were employed by entrepreneurs and government officials to prepare strategies for economic development. And he describes how the railroads especially promoted the founding of cities in the nineteenth century—and how this system has fared since 1950 in the face of globalization and the growth of interstate highways. A clean very presentable copy.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. As architects when we design buildings or a set of buildings, it is important to not only understand the site on which we build, but also the complexities of which the architectural intervention are a part of. It becomes imperative to understand the components of the city of which the site… is a part of. In doing so we are equiped to take informed decisions and design in total harmony with the systems of which we are a part of. The book is a result of on-site and off site work done over the last 3 decades by the Author. The sketches, images, diagrams, photographs, maps and plans are the compilation of studies and my interaction over the "Theory of Settlements". The book will form a useful resource for study of settlements and would be of interest to students and the fraternity at large. (jacket).
