美国是一个城市发展水平较高的国家,在其城市基础上发展起来的大都市区,更在世界范围内居领先地位。因此,从城市角度透视美国历史,可以更好地认识美国历史上很多重要问题,有助于提供线索,开阔思路,丰富和深化乃至细化对美国历史的了解与研究。

Among many valuable perspectives on research of American history, the urban aspect seem to be one with special significance which is less explored in China’s academic community. As a nation with high level of urbanization and playing a leading role in the world in terms of urban and metropolitan development, the American urban experiences invites elaborate studies, so as to provide more channels and broader visions for the research on American history and deepen such a study.
