Robin F. Bachin. Building the South Side: Urban Space and Civic Culture in Chicago, 1890–1919. (Historical Studies of Urban America.) Chicago: University of Chicago Press. 2004. Pp. ix, 434. $35.00.

Robin F. Bachin traces the development of three new public spaces in Chicago from 1890 to 1919 to understand the "relation between urban space and civic culture" and to see "urban planning as a political and cultural process whereby [various groups] sought to create an urban public sphere that emphasized their (sometimes conflicting) visions of order, respectability, and civic identity" (p. 6). The processes by which these spaces were created, she argues, expose how different individuals and groups in the Progressive era sought to use the urban landscape to "transcend boundaries of ethnicity, race relations, and class" (p. 6).
