The Emancipation of the American City is a book written by Walter Tallmadge Arndt in 1917. The book explores the urbanization of America during the early 20th century and the challenges faced by cities in terms of social and economic development. Arndt argues that the traditional model of city government, which was dominated by political machines and corrupt officials, was no longer effective in meeting the needs of the growing urban population. Instead, he advocates for a more democratic and participatory approach to city governance, which would involve greater citizen involvement and the creation of more responsive and accountable local institutions. The book also examines the role of urban planning in shaping the physical landscape of American cities, and the need for comprehensive planning to address issues such as housing, transportation, and public health. Overall, The Emancipation of the American City is a seminal work in the field of urban studies, and continues to be relevant today as cities around the world grapple with the challenges of urbanization and development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
