Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Institute of Architects, the Octagon, Washington, D. C
The healthy growth of our cities is, then, dependent upon the concurrent growth of adequate transportation facilities, and the time is rapidly approaching when there will be practically no real homes within our big cities proper; there are apartments, ?ats and tenements a-plenty but no real homes, except in the surrounding fringe. In New York's East Side there is a teeming population employed in and about their own tenements, but of the hundreds of thousands who daily go to and from their work in lower Manhattan, the business district proper, it is probably safe to assume that three out of four live outside of the Island, while in Boston the percentage of workers in the city proper who live in the surrounding fringe is much larger because of the greater adequacy of its suburban service.
