미국 도시미화 운동의 현대적 이해 : 그 퇴장과 유산을 중심으로

초록

City Beautiful Movement has generally been considered extravagant, impractical and indifferent to the imminent needs of the people. This study discusses what most such assessment results from a perverse stereotype and inadequate historical understanding. Also, this study identifies that the City Practical played the critical role in generalization of the negative image. The city practical approach has enjoyed the position of normal science for 60 years since the withdrawal of the city beautiful in around 1910. The withdrawal of the city beautiful means the decline of commercial capital and rise of industrial capital in the socio-economic aspect, and the establishment of professional bureaucracy in urban administration. Despite the ostensible recession, the city beautiful was considered important in physical planning. The limitations of the city beautiful were the limitations of the times. Therefore, it is likely excessive to regard the limitations as the movement's intrinsic weaknesses. The city beautiful suggests some important implications in the 21st century paradigm of urban development which values quality of life.
