"The rapid growth of metropolitan areas has been one of the conspicuous political phenomena of the Twentieth Century. Its implications were early grasped by city planning engineers who realized that matters of transportation, traffic, water, and sewerage paid little respect to local political boundaries. Their efforts have borne fruit in the regional planning movement which ignores old municipal boundary lines as being frequently arbitrary and obsolete. But to be of value plans must be executed. ... The task confronting our urban population is one of political reconstruction calling for high statesmanship and sound political wisdom." - Foreword. First comprehensive study of issues of metropolitan governance. ; Metropolitan America; 403 pages.
