Extractions: WRITE THE EDITOR July 31, 1996 A t the crest of the hill, visitors can still see the posts and cross-piece that were part of the gallows. In the mid-1860s, gold brought all types to the town of Bannack in southwestern Montana, some of whom found their way to the top of hill with a hangman's noose around their necks. It was a lawless time with more than 100 murders recorded. Such disrespect for the law led to the construction of the Montana Territory's first jail in Bannack. Crooks looking for easy pickin's were everywhere. Even the sheriff, Henry Plummer, was up to no good. He was the among first to meet his end on the very gallows he had ordered built. Bannack, once home to a few thousand rowdy residents, is now a ghost town. Along with the old mining towns of Nevada City, Virginia City, Garnet and Coolidge, it is a reminder of Montana's wild past. All these towns were once bustling with gold and silver seekers, who filled the saloons, hotels and shops when not digging in the ground. Some also brought their families. Their homes stand alongside other time-worn buildings. Now these ghost towns are tourist attractions, even in winter when the icy cold gives them an added eeriness. S tand at the center of any of these forgotten cities and listen closely to the howling wind. You may hear the sounds of honky-tonk pianos, or catch a fleeting glimpse of a miner clutching a cache of gold.
Tenacious Cities

Extractions: M. M. Webber Some thirty-odd years ago I wrote a series of essays proclaiming the demise of the traditional city. They were contending that, largely because modern transportation and communications systems were rapidly reducing the friction of space, communities of interest were congealing among person who were in close touch but geographically distant. They observed that social and economic activities that are the defining functions of urbanized society are no longer conducted in cities alone. With most specialized organizations now freed from locational constraints and able to interact with others anywhere, the organized complexity that is urban society no longer resides in cities exclusively. In turn, the concept of "urbanism" and the concept of "city" are no longer coterminous. Built city and socio-economic processes are increasingly independent of each other. Further, just because certain social and economic problems are manifested in city settings, they are not necessarily caused by physical, spatial, or societal conditions there.. Their sources may lie within the larger national and international urban systems that are coming to dominate social and economic life. Conceiving the city as essentially a massive communications switchboard, the essays argued that a city's spatial form matters primarily as it affects accessibility among partners to interaction and transaction. Hence, spatial dispersion of urban settlements is perfectly okay, they said, so long as there are ubiquitous road networks and plenty of cars and phones. Modern spread-city allows high levels of accessibility, high standards of living, and high industrial and commercial efficiency all at levels comparable to those of concentrated cities of an earlier day. The essays said that both trends the emergence of spread-city spatial patterns and the globalization of urban society and the suggest that the age of the traditional city is coming to an end.
