#hardcover#sociology#ushistory#americanhistory#cities#urbanlandscape#20thcentury This suggestive historical analysis of metropolitan America during the half century from 1915-1966 carries on the author's account of the urbanization of America. He surveys the expansion of metropolitan centers, observes their progressive loss of civic unity and effectiveness, and records the results of varied proposals for their reconstruction and survival. This book is in good vintage condition, with little wear to the pages. A slight binding gap is beginning to form at the top of the book, but there are no breaks. Dust jacket shoes some scuffing and wear, and the edges of the cover are worn. Published in 1968.
