Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book gathers together a series of lectures and discussions on the governance of the City of New York, delivered in 1915 at the height of progressive era reform. As the seat of the nation's largest city, the complex workings and challenges of New York's governance act as a microcosm for the political and social issues facing the country at that time, and which remain relevant to this day. The author draws on his experiences as Mayor and his involvement in numerous reform initiatives to present a detailed account of the mayoralty, the board of estimate, and the various roles of government departments, commissions, and services. The themes of scientific management, efficiency in government, organizational reform, and the appropriate role of the state vs. the private sector run throughout the chapters. This book is a fascinating look at urban governance in the early 20th century US, with insights that remain highly relevant today against a backdrop of continuing urbanization and the recurrent calls for good government.
