QUESTION 1:
Newly established pastoral capitalist landscapes were marketed not only as desirable because
of the impact such a setting would have on the workforce, but also coincided with the suburban movement that was occurring more generally in the Post WWII years. In these wide-open, new green spaces, American corporations found cheaper rents, bucolic surroundings, and increasingly, a widely accessible suburban workforce.
Refer to Mozingo’s discussion of pastoral capitalism, and any other discussions from the article on Pereira and UC Irvine, and compare the campus of UC Irvine to design preferences occurring elsewhere around the country and in California. How did the design of UC Irvine reflect growing suburban sentiments and land use ideals? Refer to specific campus design features in your answer.

Describe Fordism’s impact on housing. And, what are the early industries that Soja and Scott refer to when discussing the economic development of Los Angeles prior to WWII?
QUESTION 3:
Describe the conditions of cities in the U.S. in the Industrial era. In what ways did city leaders and early planning initiatives attempt to improve the conditions of cities approaching the twentieth century. What role did parks play in New York and Milwaukee in this era?
