Synopsis

How cities actually work—from services to finance and public health

This practical guide surveys how urban governments run, fund themselves, and shape daily life. It blends historical context with current practice, helping readers understand why municipal decisions matter.

This edition focuses on the full scope of city administration. It explains how local authorities carry out health, safety, education, and welfare work, while also detailing streets, water systems, parks, and public services.
