Emancipation of the American City

The Emancipation of the American City, originally published in 1917, examines the challenges and opportunities facing American cities in the early 20th century. Walter Tallmadge Arndt offers a detailed analysis of municipal governance, advocating for reforms that would empower cities to address the pressing issues of the day. This work provides valuable insights into the historical context of urban development and the ongoing struggle for effective local government.

Arndt explores themes of civic engagement, political accountability, and the role of urban planning in creating more livable and prosperous communities. His arguments remain relevant for anyone interested in the evolution of American cities and the quest for better governance. This book serves as a historical record and a call to action for improving urban life.
