<b>Extract from the Introduction:</b></div>
</div>
I am interested in "using" Dallas to understand better the changing nature of politics and planning in urban America during the twentieth century. Dallas is hardly typical of all cities, but it is closely tied to dominant business leadership and the "good government" and planning movements characteristic of that era. Southern and western cities often enthusiastically and selectively embraced aspects of both these movements as strategies to help them develop still faster. Dallas also participated in the larger public discourse about cities characteristic of the time...</div>
</div>
This book stems from my interest in understanding how changing conceptions of the city - what it was or could be - related to different urban policies and programs over time. Although the literature of urban history has expanded at an impressive rate in recent decades, much of it has centered on issues of race, class, and gender in explaining the development of the city. Historians also pay special attention to the role of social forces in shaping urban development, as well as their influences on the thoughts and actions of the historical actors. These are all valuable contributions, but such efforts have largely discouraged scholars from investigating the city from a more humanistic appraoch, emphasizing not social forces but uman perception. Studies examining the development of urban policy have stressed the importance of real events in shaping responses and have neglected to investigate the relationship between the perception of reality that city builders brought to the city and its problems and the actual response to those urban problems. Little effort has been made to examine the writings of city builders or the structure of their organizations in order to understand their basic assumptions about the nature of the city...</div>
</div>
<i>For the City as a Whole</i>, then, is an attempt to understand the actions of urban problem solvers by linking their definition of and responses to those problems to their perception of what the city was or could become.</div>
