Metropolis Lost,Metropolis Regained

Abstract

In a period of deep concern for the condition of the American metropolis and amid questions which raise doubts about the continued viability of cities, the authors argue that there is an essential soundness in urban life which preserves cities and keeps them in balance over time. Within this argument, however, they examine some of the problems which need intensive investigation, and subtle evaluation, and which above all require discussion and understanding as a preface to planning and action.
