Find out if there are any books on the economic history of the urban area of your choice. Most of the older, large urban areas have rather extensive bibliographies.

Select one of these books. Does the author of this book use a conceptual framework that resembles one of those covered in this chapter? If so, what is it? Is some other conceptual framework used? If so, what is it? If there is no conceptual framework used, which one would you suggest? Why?
