Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the dismal state of U.S. city governance in the late 1800s, highlighting how it contrasted with the progressive municipal reforms already implemented in Europe. The author argues that the problems plaguing U.S. cities were due to the failure of American democracy to extend fully to the local level, leaving city governments vulnerable to corruption and abuse at the hands of state legislators. The author asserts that the key to good city governance - as demonstrated by European examples - is to implement genuinely self-governing cities where local issues are resolved locally without interference from external authorities. The author concludes that this approach strengthens democracy at its core, giving local communities the autonomy they need to thrive. This book offers historical insights and thought-provoking ideas for those interested in urban politics, public administration, and the evolution of American democracy.
