Synopsis

This book provides a deep dive into the challenges of managing modern cities in the United States. It focuses on the real-world challenges of urban governance, delving into the practicalities of how cities are actually run and what challenges are faced by the leaders tasked with keeping them functioning. Rather than focusing on the theoretical elements of urban planning or the political machinations that underpin governance, this book focuses on the day-to-day functioning of urban environments. The author presents a comprehensive guide to the essential elements of efficient municipal administration, which constitute the intelligent and engaged electorate, effective urban planning, maintenance of critical infrastructure, provision of essential services, and the ongoing pursuit of improvements in all of these areas. Instead of dwelling on abstract concepts, this book presents a practical and accessible guide to the nuts and bolts of running a modern city.
