| Title |
Downwind, Downstream, Downtown : The Environmental Legacy in Baltimore and Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that for two centuries, each surge of city-building has consumed massive amounts of raw materials and restructured flows of materials, as merchants and manufacturers reached out to capture resources from greater distances but persisted in accumulating a large share of the wastes close to home. She examines eight such surges of growth that can be seen, and synchronized, in Baltimore, Maryland, and Montreal. The author's examination of the environmental impacts are marshalled to appeal for more attention to material flows at scales that reflect the boom-and-bust context of urban decision making.
