Although The City as Suburb is described as a history, the book holds much of interest for geographers and planners....Readers who are not acquainted with the city will also find the book of interest, for Holcomb describes for Baltimore many of the same processes that have become key elements of city formation throughout the United States....In summary, this is a well-researched and well-documented book by an author who is intimately familiar with his subject., Although The City as Suburb is described as a history, the book holds much of interest for geographers and planners....

Synopsis
"The growth of Northeast Baltimore illustrates the American transition from settlement to suburb. Here we witness a model that has played out again and again on this continent. By revealing the unseen layers of a rich history, Eric Holcomb presents the features of this model that are unique to this corner of the world. It is a specific and loving portrait."--from the foreword by Kathleen G. Kotarba Northeast Baltimore has undergone a transformation from a rural area into a "city suburb," an experience shared by many similar U.S. metropolitan areas. Eric L. Holcomb traces this prototypical process from the region's origins as a hunting ground of the Susquehannocks, through its earliest settlement by Europeans in the eighteenth century and its idealization as a picturesque landscape during the nineteenth century, to its rise as a suburb in the twentieth century. Holcomb's obvious passion for the area, combined with his thorough research in geographic indicators such as land ownership patterns, provide a lush empirical foundation for this richly illustrated history., Holcomb reveals how Northeast Baltimore's landscape evolved as its economic and cultural ties to the city were strengthened through changes in urban transportation, markets, and demographics. Holcomb's obvious passion for the area combined with his thorough research in geographic indicators such as land ownership patterns provides a lush empirical foundation for this richly illustrated history.
