The Exploding Metropolis (Classics in Urban History)

In "The Exploding Metropolis", first published in 1958, William H. Whyte, Jane Jacobs, Francis Bello, Seymour Freedgood, and Daniel Seligman address the problems of urban decline and suburban sprawl, transportation, city politics, open space, and the character and fabric of cities. A new foreword by Sam Bass Warner, Jr., and preface by Whyte demonstrate the relevance of "The Exploding Metropolis" to urban issues in the 90s.
