Document Summary

Lewis provides a review the growth of the city up to 1945. I think that it is important material to understand (as i stated in an earlier set of review notes), so i am including a review (edited somewhat) of this material here. * the city initially grew out along the streetcar lines and other mass transportation lines. * movement to suburban locations --> the wealthy then the upper-middle class. * housing still largely pedestrian-oriented centered on proximity to mass transportation and more compact in nature. * few, small clusters of retail activities to serve the local market. * early zoning laws are discriminatory in nature (restrict land uses in upper class and upper- middle class neighbourhoods). * widespread ownership and use of the automobile. * the middle class moving to suburban locations. * filling in of non-urban land in the city between the mass transit lines and on the fringes of the built up area of the city.
