This sure-to-be-controversial work examines the failure of city planning in America and the results of that failure as seen in the day-to-day lives of our cities. Hommann contends that, although desperately needed, by and large city planning has no effect on urban development in this country where developers are supreme. For the most part, local planners must deal with a daily fiction regarding their involvement in developmental decisions, a fiction that ultimately drives many into alternate pursuits.

The result is the civic deprivation that debilitates millions of Americans culturally, socially, and economically.
