Phoenix Arizona has grown from a small rural town to become the America’s 5th city. It’s roots from the late 1800s in agriculture, ranching and mining launched its growth into a thriving metropolis today. Favorable climate, economic opportunity and a strong industrial base contributed to this ongoing expansion. Now population growth and urbanization are taxing the area’s resources, particularly water. How did we get here and where we are headed.

Presenter: ASU Urban History professor Mark Tebeau.
