Description: Presents the modern American city and describes some of the forces acting upon and within the cities. Traces the three waves of migrations which have greatly altered the cities--immigration from abroad, migration from rural America, and the emigration of city dwellers to the suburbs. Spotlights the squeeze in urban budgets caused by the fact that the new migrants bring a need for expansion of governmental service while the emigrants take with them a stable tax base., Presents the modern American city and describes some of the forces acting upon and within the cities.
