American City Progress And The Law (1918)

By Howard Lee McBain

Book Overview

American City Progress And The Law (1918) is a book written by Howard Lee McBain that explores the relationship between urban development and the law in the United States during the early 20th century. The book focuses on the legal challenges faced by cities as they attempted to modernize and improve their infrastructure, including issues related to zoning, transportation, public utilities, and public health. McBain argues that the legal system played a crucial role in shaping the growth and development of American cities, and he provides examples of how different cities approached these challenges in different ways. The book also examines the role of private interests in shaping urban development, and the ways in which the law was used to promote or restrict their influence. Overall, American City Progress And The Law offers a unique perspective on the legal and social issues that shaped the growth of American cities during a critical period of urbanization and modernization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
