Book Description
Excerpt from Asheville City Plan The motive of the City Commission in printing the City Plan for general distribution is that it may be studied by the tax-payers and citizens of Asheville and their purposes toward it determined upon the basis of a full knowledge of the arrangements and changes proposed therein. The City Plan, as prepared by Dr. John Nolen and adopted by the preeding administration, is merely a groundwork of ideas tentatively designed to improve existing situations in Asheville and largely to control the future growth of the city. But the plan is only a plan, we should remember, and its realization or rejection rests in the decisions that public sentiment shall formulate in regard to its utility and desirability as a whole and the practicability of its several parts and details. It is hoped, therefore, that the people of Asheville will most carefully examine and learn the City Plan as presented herein. And from time to time, as matters relating to it are considered by the City Commission and City Planning Commission, expressions of the will of the citizenship of Asheville will be given due hearing and heed. Suggestion from any interested source will cordially be welcomed at all times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sorting Out the New South City
Author: Thomas W. HanchettPublisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 080786188X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
One of the largest and fastest-growing cities in the South, Charlotte, North Carolina, came of age in the New South decades of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, transforming itself from a rural courthouse village to the trading and financial hub of America's premier textile manufacturing region. In this book, Thomas Hanchett traces the city's spatial evolution over the course of a century, exploring the interplay of national trends and local forces that shaped Charlotte, and, by extension, other New South urban centers. Hanchett argues that racial and economic segregation are not age-old givens, but products of a decades-long process. Well after the Civil War, Charlotte's whites and blacks, workers and business owners, all lived intermingled in a "salt-and-pepper" pattern. The rise of large manufacturing enterprises in the 1880s and 1890s brought social and political upheaval, however, and the city began to sort out into a "checkerboard" of distinct neighborhoods segregated by both race and class. When urban renewal and other federal funds became available in the mid- twentieth century, local leaders used the money to complete the sorting out process, creating a "sector" pattern in which wealthy whites increasingly lived on one side of town and blacks on the other.
