The primary theme of this collection of essays is that the cities' basic problems are poverty and racism, and until these concerns are addressed by bringing about racial equality, creating jobs, and instituting other reforms, the generally low quality of urban life will persist. Gans argues that the individual must work to alter society. He believes that not only must parents have jobs to improve their children's school performance, but that the country needs a modernized "New Deal," a more labor-intensive economy, and a thirty-two hour work week to achieve full employment. Other controversial ideas presented in this book include Gans's opposition to the whole notion of an underclass, which he feels is the latest way for the nonpoor to unjustly label the poor as undeserving. He also believes that poverty continues to plague society because it is often useful to the nonpoor. He is critical of architecture that aims above all to be aesthetic or to make philosophical statements, is doubtful that planners can or should try to reform our social or personal lives, and thinks we should concentrate on achieving individual public policies until we learn how to properly plan as a society.

This work examines urban problems, issues and policy approaches in the United States. It questions whether President Nixon's National Urban Policy Report of 1972, used by subsequent administrations as a policy viewpoint, could be made into a more useful document for reflecting urban concerns.

Scholars, policymakers, and journalists explore the condition of America's cities, focusing on the policies of the previous five presidential administrations, and offer suggestions for the future. Karl Marx once said that the point was not to understand the world but to change it. This volume offers little more than vague hopes and good intentions.
