By Richard Theodore Ely and Richard T. Ely

Book Overview

The Coming City is a book written by Richard Theodore Ely and published in 1902. The book is a collection of essays that explores the future of cities and urbanization. Ely, a prominent economist and social reformer, discusses the challenges and opportunities that arise from the growth of cities, such as poverty, crime, and environmental degradation. He argues that cities can be transformed into places of social and economic progress if they are managed properly. The book also examines the role of government in shaping the urban landscape and improving the lives of city dwellers. Ely's ideas had a significant impact on the urban planning movement in the early 20th century and continue to influence urban policy today. The Coming City is a seminal work in the field of urban studies and a must-read for anyone interested in the future of cities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
