The myth and reality of our urban problems

by Raymond Vernon

Excerpt from The Myth and Reality of Our Urban ProblemsFor contemporary America, the barefoot boy with cheek of tan is a nostalgic memory, the victim of hot asphalt roads and speeding auto traffic. Today, two out of three children in America are growing up in an urban setting. Raised in seedy brownstones, garden apartments, or trim sub urban yards, they are strangers to the unpolluted swimming hole and the dusty country lane.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
