Example text
The Internet is now available to almost every American, and some commentators have even wondered if cities would be dying out by now (they’re not). Disasters—9/11, Katrina, Sandy—have taken huge tolls on cities, and the cities have bounced back.

During the Gilded Age, these elites used their newfound wealth to endow various high-culture organizations, from museums to operas and universities, in all major American cities (Warner 2012). The development of technology and the emergence of the factory as a socially organized system of labor were instrumental in attracting newcomers of varied social origins to the cities. Much of this migration was a result of policies (in England, for example) whereby local peasants were prevented from farming through the passage of enclosure acts.
