This volume explores many of the key environmental concerns and issues that are essential to understanding the problems faced by cities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Addressing a variety of issues, such as clean water supply, the provision/retention of green space, and noise pollution, that faced European and North American cities, the essays in this volume highlight the common responses as well as the differences that characterized the reactions to these trans-national concerns.
