Industrial-era disorder itself spawned the modern city’s new order.

Evidence

I am suggesting then that under the combined impact of the industrial, urban, and technological revolutions the appearential order of the public space of the preindustrial city was severely weakened. If cities can ever be said to be “disordered,” surely the cities of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries were that. However, out of this confusion-in fact, as part of it-other things began to happen which pointed to the kind of order that would dominate the emerging modern city. — Lyn H.
