{"title":"The Long Way from Farm to Table: The Evolution of the United States’ Wholesale Food Business","authors":"Sophie Kelmenson","doi":"10.1177/1538513220959663","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1538513220959663","url":null,"abstract":"The development of wholesale markets fundamentally changed food provisioning in the United States. Because of this system, food today may travel around the world before it is eaten, requiring handling by untold numbers of workers and companies as well as technologies to safely store and transport it. Cities are tied up in the story of global food supply chains, as they are the endpoint for the majority of consumption. The transition to food provisioning via wholesale markets was a dramatic shift that is important for understanding food systems today, yet, with few exceptions, the new and growing subfield of food systems planning has not much examined its history. Movable Markets: Food Wholesaling in the Twentieth-Century City, by Helen Tangires, shrinks this gap by documenting the forms and spatial layouts of evolving wholesale markets across the United States over the course of the twentieth century. Tangires’ first book documented a proliferation of food retail stores in nineteenth-century cities as a result of deregulation. This sequel explores the rise of food wholesalers to supply these retail outlets. More specifically, the book investigates how, after food provisioning evolved into an activity that took up ample (and valuable) real estate, cities extricated wholesale markets from their downtowns and reconstructed them as invisible and peripheral to the city’s infrastructure. Tangires argues that the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) “was the ‘visible hand’ that guaranteed the movable feast” (p. 14) by setting the conditions and orchestrating resources in order to shift the wholesaling food system into developments designed from scratch for the modern era. To tell this story, Tangires focuses on the role that the USDA played in the fight over the future of the urban wholesale market. The depth of research is extensive and often includes fascinating images and illustrations of USDA’s work. Tangires characterizes the development of food wholesale provisioning in terms of three eras, which also make up the three parts of the book. Each chapter provides examples from various cities, with the arcs of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Baltimore wholesale markets described in bits and pieces throughout. A wide range of terms are used to refer to actors in the wholesale sector, reflecting the diversity of people involved in the industry and the dramatic shifts it underwent. The terms are primarily undefined, in part, because they were inconsistently used historically and because they evolved over time. Nonetheless, it can add confusion. The story primarily features white men, and Tangires notes their xenophobic Journal of Planning History","PeriodicalId":44738,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning History","volume":"20 1","pages":"353 - 357"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1538513220959663","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43494851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first is a focus on individual voices. Through oral histories, biographical and ethnographic work, Crawford encourages us to “zoom in for close-ups” of our subjects’ lives (p. 383). She also argues that research centered on habitation—the interaction between the places that people occupy and the people who occupy those places—is more valuable than a focus on either of these aspects separately. In the context of suburbia, a study of habitation blends the analysis of housing production and consumption. In doing so, it offers insights into a domestic arena that is often assumed to be disconnected from the public realm. Finally, Crawford recommends that we study suburban imaginaries, where tangible and intangible experiences of the built environment coalesce into collective representations. Investigations that uncover the ingredients of these imaginaries enable us to know suburbia more deeply and to appreciate the complexities of specific places. The contributors to Making Suburbia address each of these themes individually and as a group. In Tastemaker: Elizabeth Gordon, House Beautiful and the Postwar American Home, Monica Penick deftly weaves together all three themes. TasteMaker is at once a biography, a history of domestic architecture, and a study in taste formation. The book’s principal subject is Elizabeth Gordon, the post–World War II editor of House Beautiful magazine. Born in Indiana in 1906, Gordon attended the University of Chicago in the 1920s. After a brief period teaching high school, she moved to New York City where she worked in an advertising agency and wrote freelance for magazines. Gordon focused her writing on housing and was eventually hired by Good Housekeeping where she became a “recognized authority” on the topic (p. 7). In 1941, Gordon was appointed editor in chief of House Beautiful, a role she held until 1964. Under Gordon’s leadership, the magazine’s circulation grew from less than 250,000 to close to a million, making it one of the most popular shelter magazines in the United States. The biographical focus on Gordon is somewhat complicated by how little we know about her life. Gordon left no diary, and despite significant professional accomplishments, she remains an elusive individual. The woman can only be understood through her work, and so, Penick sets out to find Elizabeth Gordon in the pages of House Beautiful.

The implementation of Vienna’s Ringstrasse serves as an excellent case example for such an exploration. On the one hand, it consists of an array of monumental public buildings that resemble material expressions of freedom and individuality. Yet, for this development to be realized in the first place, some form of intervention was necessary despite liberalism’s subscription to noninterventionism. Lessons learned from revisiting the Ringstrasse project might then prove illuminating for our contemporary era of “hyperliberalism.”","PeriodicalId":44738,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning History","volume":"20 1","pages":"269 - 286"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1538513220943146","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47832341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ukraine’s 1991 independence threatened industrial complexes with demolition for retail, residential, and office uses. We examine Kyiv’s Soviet industrial legacy as prescribed in master plans of 1936 and 1947, and successive five-year plans.

{"title":"Regenerating Dixie: Electric Energy and the Modern South","authors":"S. Ramos","doi":"10.1177/1538513220939074","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1538513220939074","url":null,"abstract":"Regenerating Dixie: Electric Energy and the Modern South is Casey P. Cater’s recent book on how southern energy consolidation was a central process in constructing what he terms the “long New South” over the century spanning the 1880s and the 1970s. The book attempts to reconcile a southern historic exceptionalism with broader national urbanization trends, beginning in the late nineteenth century when the southern cities began to grow apace with the rest of the United States. For Cater, these cities served as the command centers for territorial energy pursuits, where southern utility corporations leveraged federal infrastructure funds for private profit. Cater is an energy historian based out of Atlanta, Georgia, which also happens to be the epicenter of the book’s narrative. “‘Regenerating Dixie,’” he explains, “is both an obvious riff on the New South and a term that clearly employs the present continuous tense.” Planning history in the US South, apart from some notable exceptions, is either wrapped in urban history, as in the work of David Goldfield, or buried in the region’s economic histories. As historian Alex Sayf Cummings recently summarized, “To take a bibliography of southern history on its face, one could conclude that urban planning never touched the American South.” From the anti-urban sentiment of the tidewater region, to the extension of the plantation model throughout the southeast that circumscribed authentic urban development to its southern coastal colonial town origins until the late nineteenth century, the South does not fit comfortably into the “official” planning history or the traditional nation-state contexts that frame it. Effective planning requires clear public–private, multilevel collaboration, in the form of explicit policy. Or it likes to think so. The South thinks of itself differently. Southern history is more poetry; gothic with ghostly innuendo. Planning aspires to be a high public art and science, and nineteenth-century Southern Victorianism reified only select aspects of “civilization” and flipped the rest of the Enlightenment on its head. Whether in discussions of regionalism or sectionalism, since the seventeenth century the history of the South has sought to weave itself into the larger national narrative while also claiming a kind of exceptional, unique character within that narrative. This is not its “new history” but rather its origin story. As Daniel Joseph Singal observed, “The plantation’s needs determined the South’s pattern of settlement, its principal transportation routes, and the location, size, and vitality of its cities . . . . In short, the plantation flourished at the expense of the development of the rest of southern society.” But Cater argues that southern electrification has broader significance for US histories of urban technologies, while recognizing the region’s “peculiarities.” “‘Different’ does not mean ‘exceptional’ . . . . It (southern electrification) was at once peculiar and unive","PeriodicalId":44738,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Planning History","volume":"20 1","pages":"338 - 341"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1538513220939074","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46966951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
