This comprehensive examination of Boston's metropolitan area in the early 20th century carefully details the challenges presented by the rapid growth of the region and the limitations imposed by a fragmented administrative structure. The author presents evidence of the pressing need for a regional planning authority to address pressing infrastructure shortfalls in transportation and public health, outlining numerous specific failures of coordination and planning. The work draws parallels to successful regional planning efforts in other major cities and offers a detailed analysis of the specific issues the Boston area must grapple with to improve public works, enhance regional transportation networks, and generally improve the standard of living across the region. The insights and suggestions put forward in this book remain highly relevant today, as metropolitan areas continue to struggle with the complexities of managing growth and ensuring the well-being of their residents.
