Dr. Philip VanderMeer, Associate Professor of History at ASU, addresses the basic question: why did Phoenix grow? During its first eight decades, residents of the Salt River Valley sought to transform it into an agricultural paradise, and Phoenix residents strove to make their city into an oasis that resembled communities across the nation. World War II stimulated new ideas about the city s future, as well as economic, political, and social changes that helped build one of the nation s largest cities. Why did Phoenix do better than other cities seeking the same goal?
