Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of European Cities The purpose of this volume is to explain, in a general way, the structure and functions of city government in three European countries, and to contrast these, wherever they may be appropriately compared, with the structure and functions of city government in the United States. It has been my aim to describe who the city authorities are, how they are chosen, what they do, and how they do it; but not to examine in detail the physical operation of municipal services or the minutiae of municipal administration. Considerable attention has been devoted to the relations of the civic and state authorities in each of these countries; for the writer believes that this is one of the most important of all the phases of local administration. The book is intended to afford an introduction to the study of European city governments, and no attempt has been made to deal in exhaustive fashion with any aspect of the subject. To bring the narrative within reasonable compass it has been necessary to omit many matters of some importance, and to deal in a paragraph with other things which might well have a page. With this in mind an endeavor has been made to indicate in the footnotes convenient sources from which further information may be drawn by readers who may become interested in any part of the general field. In the task of preparing the volume I have received generous and valued assistance from many quarters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crisis of the Cities The many entries under the caption City Administration stressed problem of, reform of, evils of, our failures in and the like. Concerted attack on municipal corruption had not yet reached its crest, but it was gathering momentum. Equally extensive were the entries under the heading, Housing of the Working Classes and of the Poor in Cities and the section on water supply and sanitation was surprisingly long. On the other hand there were comparatively few entries for public works and home rule; the only item on city plan ning was Planning the Site for a City, a technical study by Lewis M. Haupt in Engineering Magazine for 1895. Three years later Brooks prepared, with the help of Dr. Milo R. Maltbie, A Bibliography of Municipal Problems and City Conditions, complete to 1901. Explaining the need for the work, Brooks wrote since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1897, the literature on cities has grown so rapidly that from three to four times as much space is now required to list it adequately. References to European cities reflected growing interest in comparative studies. The project, Sponsored by the Reform Club, was suspended when the re form movement receded, following on a number of victories for mea sures it had sponsored. In this interim the most intensive studies of municipal affairs shifted to such universities as maintained chairs in municipal government and political science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Government in Continental Europe To some critics it may appear that I have ascribed undue importance to Paris as a type and an influence; yet I can hardly think that anv reader will fail to agree that Paris is the necessary starting-point for a description of the modern regime in Continental cities. In the preceding volume I found it advanta geons to select Glasgow for the more rounded and elaborate study of British municipal life in the con crete. In my own inquiries and observations as an American visitor, I had discovered that to know well the ways and works of the Glasgow municipality was to possess standards of comparison and points of view which afforded the best possible equipment for the further examination of municipal methods and achievements, whether in Edinburgh and Dundee, in Belfast and Dublin, or in Manchester, Birmingham.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of Municipalities The main topics treated in this volume and the reasons for the order of their presentation are so fully explained in the introductory chapter that few words are needed here. The lack of any generally accepted municipal system in the United States and the contrariety of opinion concerning the most important methods of municipal government are recognized facts, and - they must largely affect the treatment of our subject. Conflicts of opinion and serious disputes about theories and methods would be unavoidable even if nothing further should be attempted than a plan of city government formed by compilation and deductions from American precedents and experience alone. I must think that such a treatment of the matters we are to deal with would be quite inadequate; for very instructive lessons in municipal government can be best studied in the practical methods, and the results of administration in the leading cities of Europe, where municipal experience has been much longer and more varied than in the United States. Nevertheless, our municipal system must be framed in harmony with our constitutional principles and social life; so that, while nothing intrinsically good should be rejected merely because of its foreign origin, nothing can be adopted unless compatible with the fundamental theories of republican government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Government Ihe city. We find in all cotintries large aggregations of persons in small areas which are variously called cities or urban communities. The mere existence of such aggregations presents peculiar phenomena. We ask the questions: How did these aggregations come about? and, How are they constituted! that is, What are the characteristics of urban populations! These questions are of a sociological nature. When we speak of the city or urban community as a mere aggregation of persons we are therefore using the term in a sociological sense. But the presence of these aggregations causes problems to arise which are not sociological in character. For these aggregations must have a governmental organization. Not only must they have such an organization but their problems being peculiar, owing to the density of their population, that organization must be different from that which is accorded to rural communities. When, therefore, we speak of a city or urban community as a governmental organization we are using the term in a political rather than a sociological sense. We are not ttiiTiTriiig 80 much of the reasons why aggregations of persons exist or of the character of their xopulation as of the position which the city occupies as an organ of government and of the political powers which it exercises. It has been said that the political problems of cities are peeoliar. This is due to the character of urban populations.1 Authorities: Veber, The Growth of Cities etc.; Hobson, The Evolntion of Capitalism; Qiddings, Hie Principles of Sociology.
