- Abstract
- For the urban historian, it is heartening to see awareness of the injustices of urban renewal, redlining, freeway siting, and other historic practices figure prominently in public conversations today—recognition of our turbulent urban and planning history is even beginning to inform governments’ current policies. Sam Bass Warner Jr. was among the first group of scholars to turn a critical eye on the historical development of American cities, and works of his, including Streetcar Suburbs (1962), The Private City (1968), and The Urban Wilderness (1972), became seminal pieces in the nascent, largely uncharted field of American urban and planning history during the 1960s and 1970s. Beginning with these influential debuts, Sam’s six-decade career remained dedicated to bringing urban and planning history out of obscurity and into the place we see it today.
