DESCRIPTION - During his 24 years in office, Ford challenged the status quo in his efforts to deal with population growth and urban sprawl. He was convinced that the Los Angeles County administration could meet the needs of a population whose racial and ethnic composition, and expectations of local government, were rapidly changing. This approach reflected a faith in technological and scientific solutions to social and economic problems that prevailed in mid-20th century America. A new introduction by historian Michael Adamson places Ford's views in context, calling them 'a testament to the power of the idea of progressjust before the growth machine that it was propelling began to break down.' inventory #37779.
