Uruk - fed by fields it ruled; the first hinterland ledgers are the first writing. (Estate collection.)
The Rings
The von Thunen floor map, thirty feet across - the city and the region that feeds it, drawn in rings you can walk.
The Map Table: The Chicago School
Park and Burgess at the map table, plotting the zones - and Jane Jacobs at the corner, telling them the street knows better.
The Milkshed
Every morning's milk drawn from a hundred miles - the invisible region in the icebox.
The Commuter Fringe
The last stop and the first field - where the metropolis thins into the hinterland.
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
Viewpoints
Metropolis viewpoints against Burgess, Hoyt, Harris-Ullman, and von Thunen - the form drill on the wall.
