Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book considers the evolving role of municipal governments, with particular emphasis on how the emergence of large-scale industry has transformed the fabric of urban centers. The author traces the historical shift in the balance of power between local and state governments, and the challenges this has presented to local autonomy. The author argues that while cities have undertaken new duties in response to rapid growth, the privatization of essential services may undermine the public interest. Drawing on historical case studies, the author argues that while private corporations may provide utility-based services efficiently, they prioritize profit over public enrichment and stifle innovation. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the role of the 21st-century municipality, its relationship with citizens and corporations, and the best path forward for the development of our urban environments.
