Synopsis

Exploring how America’s great cities govern themselves and solve their toughest problems. This study examines the six leading cities—Washington, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Boston—to reveal how urban government works in practice and what it means for residents.

This edition presents a clear, soldierly description of city administration, the challenges cities face, and the varied ways officials try to improve urban life. It emphasizes the real-world effects of policy choices, reforms, and the daily operations that shape a city’s character.

- See how taxation, public services, and infrastructure were managed in the early 20th century
- Understand reforms, debates, and the push for more effective municipal democracy
- Discover the kinds of issues leaders wrestled with, from safety and health to schools and utilities
