Field Trip: 8:00 a.m. ~ 2:00 p.m.

Trip Leader: Peter W. Rees, University ofDelaware

Wilmington And Vicinity: A Modern UrbanCore Faces Traditional Issues Of SocialTension And Economic Revival.

Perched on the edge of the Piedmont at the confluence oftwo tributaries of the Delaware River, Wilmington reflectsDelaware's uniqueness and ethnic diversity. First settledby Swedes and later Quaker businessmen, the city grew asa 19th century specialized manufacturing center and 20th

century headquarters of the chemical industry, sufferedloss of dominance from suburbanization, experiencedreinvention as a banking and corporate center and now isattempting major revival of its riverfront as a new regionalfocus. The field trip will demonstrate these themes andraise questions about how representative Wilmington is ofolder historic East Coast cities.

The trip will depart promptly from theconference hotel at 8.00am and return at 2.00pm. Therewill be opportunities for participants to purchase lunchand snacks.
