The book traces five broaddevelopments: the expansion and redefinition of public space, the construction of landscapedhighways, the creation of a modern water supply system, the radical environmental politics of thebarrio in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the contemporary politics of the environmental justicemovement.Drawing on political economy, environmental studies, social theory, cultural theory, andarchitecture, Gandy shows how New York's environmental history is bound up not only with the upstatelandscapes that stretch beyond the city's political boundaries but also with more distant placesthat reflect the nation's colonial and imperial legacies. Using the shifting meaning of nature underurbanization as a framework, he looks at how modern nature has been produced through interrelatedtransformations ranging from new water technologies to changing fashions in landscape design.Throughout, he considers the economic and ideological forces that underlie phenomena as diverse asthe location of parks and the social stigma of dirty neighborhoods.;
