Places the history of city building in southern California in a national context, explains the changing form of American cities during the 20th century using Los Angeles as a case study, and interprets the structures residents and scholars have devised for understanding American cities. Argues that the 20th-century metropolitan region is the product of conscious planning in response to political and economic conditions of the 1920s and 1930s, the defense emergency, and the immediate postwar years. Includes b&w photos and illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
