Many things are written concerning cities and the things that happen in them, but few books explain cities in their social aspects. This book, necessarily, in its limited scope, cannot go into all the phases of city life, but it does attempt to get at some of the real problems of the urban community. Dr. Wright has had a long and intimate connection with municipal affairs in New York City, which has given him an interesting and valuable viewpoint that finds expression in this little volume.
