9422051 DOMOSH This project combines several themes of current geographic research: determinants of urban form; expansion and maintenance of economic demand in wealthy societies; and the effects of differential gender roles on the geography of the individual, household, and the local region. The specific topic of the project is the ways in which New York's Broadway and Fifth Avenue became "Ladies' Mile," the premier shopping district for middle-class women in mid-nineteenth-century New York City. The investigator will make use of atlases, photographs, popular magazines, trade journals, city directories, and women's diaries of the period to document the transformation, uses, and users of the district. Data collection from the atlases, photographs, and directories will be straightforward, while the magazines and diaries will be subjected to content analysis and interpreted within the context of the original author and audience. Under investigation are the relative contributions of advertising, the popular press, building characteristics, and mix of land uses to the image and success of this retail development. In addition to documenting an important development in American mercantile history, the project's findings will contribute to the understanding of interaction among cultural, economic, and geographic developments within cities.

小行星9422051 该项目结合了当前地理研究的几个主题：城市形态的决定因素;富裕社会经济需求的扩大和维持;以及性别角色差异对个人、家庭和当地地理的影响。 该项目的具体主题是纽约的百老汇和第五大道如何成为“女士一英里”，这是19世纪中期纽约市中产阶级妇女的主要购物区。 调查者将利用地图集、照片、流行杂志、行业期刊、城市指南和妇女日记来记录该地区的转变、用途和用户。 从地图集、照片和目录中收集数据将很简单，而杂志和日记将进行内容分析，并在原作者和读者的背景下进行解释。 调查的是广告、大众媒体、建筑特征和土地使用组合对零售业发展的形象和成功的相对贡献。 除了记录美国商业历史上的重要发展外，该项目的研究结果将有助于理解城市内文化，经济和地理发展之间的相互作用。
