During America's dramatic metamorphosis from agrarian nation to industrial giant, intellectual lines were drawn - or so some historians claim - between pro- and anti urbanization advocates. Such a dichotomy, argues Thomas Bender, is not only simplistic but also needlessly limiting. He chooses to explore the cultural meanings associated with the urbanization process by explicating a distinctive but long-overlooked ""urban vision"" that sought to reconcile America's rural heritage with its new industrial life style. . . . . . it is a vision not totally without meaning today. . . .""
