• W2257888767 abstract "1 he tide of an essay frames the intellectual domain in which its content can be expected to develop. In this case, cities, many hills is at a minimum a play on one colonial voice which held up the potential of a theocratic English America as a gleaming exemplar for the world with on a hill imagery that remains vivid over three centuries later. What gleams still, if we gaze about at American cities, is no longer so singular and has become profoundly secular. At another level, the title's lead phrase represents a bow to the multiple communities and defining spaces of Pittsburgh, which not incidentally was the hub of my experiences growing up in Western Pennsylvania's industrial valleys. Pittsburgh's real diversity amid an apparent, but simplistic notion of dependence on the steel industry is one of the hallmarks of its urban process.1 The title reaches as well toward other matters. It gestures toward the once deeply-held belief that cities are the glory of nations, a stance still evident in much of Western Europe, but rejected decisively in most of post War Two Ameri can and dubious for nearly all modern Third World urbanization. It is simulta neously an acknowledgment of insights gained through recent studies in urban history, chiefly that multiple cities coexist in uneasy, conflicting, or complementary relations amid dense networks of metropolitan activity. Last, taken as a whole, the title suggests a question: In what sense can a state, a fraction of a nation, have an urban history? Or rephrased, what do the varied histories of cities located within larger (and more or less arbitrary) political boundaries add up to? What cluster of concepts might allow us to imagine this (or any) state in the American union hav ing an ordered, intelligible experience of urbanization? Before responding to these last queries in my customary elliptical fashion, I think it worthwhile to reflect briefly on the state or urban history more generally Last October I was privileged to attend (and later coerced into writing about) the Modes and Venues conferences on urban history held in Chicago under the sponsorship of the Chicago Historical Society.2 There I learned a good deal about city cultures, public administration, finance, urban infrastructure and attendant environmental issues, along with reform movements, the problematics of gender and public behavior, and the dilemmas of ethnicity. Much of this was fascinating; but by the end of the sessions, I noted a deafening silence on a dimension of city building and city-restructuring dear to my heart: the industrial and commercial economies of cities. Economic determinism is a dead letter, to be sure, but to engage the history of urban places as though the business system, labor processes" @default.
