Description: The Manipulated City: Perspectives on Spatial Structure and Social Issues In Urban America Edited by Stephen Gale and Eric G. Moore Maaroufa Press Chicago, Illinois 1975 xiii, [1], 366 p.: Nineteen figures and twenty-seven tables; 23.5 cm. (9.25 inches). Paperback with color front cover. Second Printing "Urban problems are multi-faceted and attempts to understand their nature and to define strategies for their solution require the bringing together of knowledge from different disciplines and different theoretical structures. However, when we attempt this task, we find many holes in our knowledge and there is no 'super-theory' to guide our efforts of synthesis. Judgment is at a premium. Much of the apparent intractability of urban problems and the ineffectiveness of public action stem from attempts to exercise judgment within a framework which does not suit the complexity of the underlying structure" [from the back cover].
