Book Overview

The Twentieth Century City is a book written by Josiah Strong and originally published in 1898. It is a comprehensive study of the development of cities in the 20th century, examining the social, economic, and political factors that shape urban life. Strong explores the impact of industrialization, immigration, and urbanization on the growth of cities, and discusses the challenges faced by urban planners and policymakers in dealing with issues such as poverty, crime, and sanitation.
