P​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​art 1: Listen to the following podcast and do the assignment below: https://www.kdunn.info/buildings-on-air-audio/2020/1/7/episode-35-january-4th-2020 In the Podcast, geographer and librarian Garrett Dash Nelson, quotes urban historian Lewis Mumford who observed that Bellamy “wanted private life to be simple and public life to be splendid.” Thinking about the podcast, the assigned chapters, and/or your own experiences– what challenges or issues can you think of the design of cities? Provide several questions and then the answers. Ex: Should every city provide its residents with beautiful, green outdoor space for relaxation and recreation? (prescriptive issues raised by this question). PART 2: Read the attached chapter and do the assignment below: The narrator, Julian West, goes to sleep in Boston 1887 and wakes up in the year 2000, not looking or feeling a day older and still in Boston. About a third of Chapter 1 is spent with West, “attempting to give the reader [in the year 2000] some general impression of the way people lived together [in the 1800s] and especially of the relations of the rich and poor to one another…” He settles on an elaborate metaphor to help illustrate 1800s socie​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ty, “[P]erhaps I can do no better than to compare society as then it was to a prodigious coach which the masses of humanity were harnesses to and dragged toilsomely along a very hilly and sandy road…” After reading or listening to the Preface and Chapter 1, write down any impressions you have of the book so far. I am especially keen to know what you think of the metaphor of the prodigious (huge) coach. The book’s main character and narrator, Julian West, builds this elaborate metaphor for almost two full pages of the book.. Does the image he asks readers to imagine seem like a useful description of any human society you can think of (from the past or even now?) Does the metaphor of the prodigious stagecoach resonate as true? Is it an over-simplification or completely inaccurate? It’s okay if you don’t think the metaphor usefully describes any society. Just say that and share your reasons to support why you think that way. Can you guess or predict some issues the book will raise?
