The Ethnic City 1. By 1890, most of the major cities had 80+ % immigrant populations 2. Diversity was pronounced with groups coming from all over Europe, Asia and Mexico (see Global Migrations p. 503) 3. Ethnic islands or Immigrant Ghettos developed where groups of people began living among others from their country. 4. Advancement and success depended on a variety of factors including: Prejudice, skill, starting capital, etc. D. Assimilation 1. Foreigners, although diverse, had many things in common a. most shared the experience of city life and had to adapt b. most were young (15-45) c. for most it was strength of ethnic ties v. assimilation 2. Many foreigners work hard to become Americanized 3. The urge to assimilate put a strain on male/female relationships 4. Assimilation was encouraged by schools, employers, churches E. Exclusion 1. The huge influx of immigration, each with different cultures created fear and prejudice among native-borns 2. The rising nativism provoked a political response a Henry Bowers founded the American Protective Association to slow influx of immigration b the Immigration Restriction League was formed in Boston c Congress restricted Chinese immigration d. Immigration restrictions eventually fizzled out because of political pressure of those who felt immigrants helped the economy.
2 II. III. The Urban Landscape A. The Creation of Public Space 1. Planners and organizers began to call for more ordered cities a. Urban Parks, such as Central Park were developed b. Great Public Buildings sprang up (libraries, museums, theatres) Columbian Exposition was a monumental undertaking, rebuilding Chicago the Great White City 3. New landscapes were developed some of America s major cities. B. Housing the Well-to-Do 1. the availability of cheap labor, tools and materials made housing affordable to the moderately wealthy 2. suburbs began to crop up in the late 1800 s 3. choices were widespread for the rich, who built huge estates in the cities and suburbs C. Housing Workers and the Poor 1. Population density of over 140 people per acre and in some cases, 700 people per acre in cities made for crowded conditions in the streets and in apartments 2. many lived in run down row house, triple deckers and tenements 3. tenements were miserable with no windows, plumbing or heating 4. Jacob Riis How the Other Half Lives, 1890, depicted tenement life. D. Urban Transportation 1. transportation was difficult because streets were not paved and the population was too large. 2. This led to the development of mass transportation such as street cars, NY s EL in 1870, SF s cable cars and Boston s subway D. The Skyscraper 1. Developments in cast iron and steel made it easier to built taller buildings. 2. Chicago architect Louis Sullivan was a central figure in the development of the skyscraper. Strains of Urban Life A. Fire and Disease 1. Fire, as most homes were made of wood, was a serious hazard a. Boston and Chicago suffered great fires in b.
