HIST 331 The History of the American City: (subtitle)
In this course, students will study the development of urban settlements in North America, from the Native American city of Cahokia (near what is now St. Louis, Missouri) to the growth of urban settlements such as Boston, Philadelphia, and New York as British colonial centers, to the continued growth of urban areas as the United States attracted growing numbers of immigrants and expanded its territorial control. Students will study the shifting images of the city, as well as the economic, political, and infrastructural challenges that urban areas have faced. This course is repeatable with different cities as subjects.
