Description

John Teaford traces the perception of urban problems and the search for solutions from the turn of the century to the present and examines the ways in which obstinate urban realities have stymied social planning. The second edition of "The Twentieth-Century American City" brings the story of urban America up to date through the early 1990s, with an analysis of recent attempts to revive ageing central cities and a look at a new form of development known as technoburbs or edge cities.
