Urbanism and Government,1957-1977

Abstract

Atomic attack may possibly destroy the American federal system during the next twenty years. Despite this threat, neither the American gov ernment nor the American people are willing to make the sacrifices necessary for survival or reconstructing our urban areas. If no attack occurs, the ills of our expanding urban areas will increase and with them will grow the influence of state and federal authority. The main problems inviting this dominating influence are the conflicts between city and suburb, urban and rural areas, labor and management, the criminal and delinquent and society, and between races.
