Excerpt from Urbanization of Land in the Northeastern United States During 1950-60, land in 96 counties in 12 Northeastern States shifted from rural to urban use at the rate of about acres per year. Of this acreage, 85 percent went into residential use that was predominantly open type; that is, averaging above acre per dwelling. Fifteen percent was used for industrial, commercial, institutional, and recreational purposes, and for airports. About 22 acre was converted to urban use for each person added to the population of the 96 counties. About 50 percent of the land urbanized had been used as cropland, al though only about 24 percent of the rural land in the entire study area was being used for this purpose in 1958. Cropland converted to urban use was largely the better farmland. About 80 percent was in land use capability classes i-iii-land that is level to gently rolling and has good surface and internal drainage.

The once denuded northeastern United States is now a region of trees. Nature Next Door argues that the growth of cities, the construction of parks, the transformation of farming, the boom in tourism, and changes in the timber industry have together brought about a return of northeastern forests. Although historians and historical actors alike have seen urban and rural areas as distinct, they are in fact intertwined, and the dichotomies of farm and forest, agriculture and industry, and nature and culture break down when the focus is on the history of Northeastern woods. Cities, trees, mills, rivers, houses, and farms are all part of a single transformed regional landscape. In an examination of the cities and forests of the northeastern United States-with particular attention to the woods of Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Vermont-Ellen Stroud shows how urbanization processes there fostered a period of recovery for forests, with cities not merely consumers of nature but creators as well. Interactions between city and hinterland in the twentieth century Northeast created a new wildness of metropolitan nature: a reforested landscape intricately entangled with the region's cities and towns.
