European Cities at Work (Classic Reprint) by Frederic C. Howe PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from European Cities at Work Some years ago I wrote a book which bore the title "The City: The Hope of Democracy." The subtitle was received with protest by some, with incredulity by others. There was little to justify hope at that time. Our cities were under the searchlight, and the evils disclosed seemed inherent in great industrial aggregations of people. How could the city govern itself honestly and efficiently under democratic forms: how could it assimilate great masses of untrained foreign born people; how could it relieve poverty, vice, and disease? The city seemed to many to be the behemoth of civilization. Since then there have been house-cleanings all over the land. A new feeling of confidence has arisen, in which democracy is the dominant note. Reform has brought with it the commission form of government, simple, direct primaries, the short ballot, and the abolition of the party emblem on the one hand, and on the other the ownership or control of public-service corporations, the protection of human health and life, the play-ground, and, more recently, the comprehensive planning and building of cities.
