Lecture in my Environmental History Course: The Urban & Industrial Environment

Here's the next installment in my environmental history course.  Last Monday we examined "The Urban and Industrial Environment".  My lecture was quite wide-ranging, often using Toronto (and New York) to illustrate more general points about urban environmental history.  I also referred to the readings that the students read that week:

Ken Cruikshank & Nancy B. Bouchier, �Blighted Areas and Obnoxious Industries: Constructing Environmental Inequality on an Industrial Waterfront, Hamilton, Ontario, 1890-1960,� Environmental History, 2004, 9: 464-496.

Mich�le Dagenais, �The Urbanization of Nature: Water Networks and Green Spaces in Montreal,� in Method & Meaning in Canadian Environmental History (2008), pp. 216-235.

Jay Young, "Filled with Nature: Exploring the Environmental History of Downtown Toronto," in: Sandberg et al., eds., Urban Explorations: Environmental Histories of the Toronto Region (L. R. Wilson Institute for Canadian History, 2013), pp. 19-39.

H. V. Nelles, �How Did Calgary Get Its River Parks?� Urban History Review, 34(1), 2005: 28-45.
