"In this account of the urbanization of nature in New York City, Matthew Gandy explores how the raw materials of nature have been reworked to produce a "metropolitan nature" distinct from the forms of nature experienced by early settlers. The book traces five broad developments: the creation of a modern water supply system, the expansion and redefinition of public space in Central Park, the construction of landscaped highways, the radical environmental politics of the barrio in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the contemporary politics of the environmental justice movement."--BOOK JACKET.
