Chicago, Boston, and Baltimore all suffered terrible fires in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Residents agreed that the destruction caused provided them with a special opportunity to improve their inadequately built cities. This book examines these rebuildings, using each to examine in close detail the process of city growth.
