This is a case study of Fort Worth's transformation within 100 yrs from a frontier settlement & cowtown to a metropolis. There is a Foreword by Austin L. Porterfield. The book 'is designed primarily for the layman' & has 10 chpts & an index. Chpts (1) & (2) present the general approach of treating the community's development in terms of stages or levels which represent successive phases of relative equilibrium. Chpt (3) analyzes pop composition. Chpt (4) presents itra-city contrasts, while succeeding chpts consider specific phases of Fort Worth --econ life, housing, organized health & welfare, municipal gov, & educ. The final chpt, `What Makes a City Good?' attempts to develop a yardstick for evaluating communities. Many statistics & tables are presented as well as an index. S. F. Fava.
La cuestión de la dispersión urbana constituye hoy un tema de investigación alrededor del cual se ha ido concentrando el interés disciplinar y político-institucional.Tal interés encuentra su respuesta en datos estadísticos (EEA, 2006) que confirman que: el 75% de la población europea vive en áreas urbanas; más de un cuarto del territorio europeo resulta urbanizado, y según las estimaciones en 2020 aproximadamente cerca del 80% de los europeos vivirá en áreas urbanas.Es un campo de la investigación todavía abierto y sobre el cual este trabajo de tesis ha querido reflexionar, siendo consciente que en urbanismo el conocimiento es una acción cognitiva y, al mismo tiempo, proyectual. Por lo tanto la investigación afronta el tema de las urbanizaciones dispersas de ámbito metropolitano pretendiendo dar respuesta a las siguientes preguntas: ¿qué es la dispersión de asentamientos? Y, sobre todo, ¿qué produce en términos territoriales? ¿es una nueva periferia o simplemente se trata de urbanizaciones que resultan de una praxis urbanística que se ha limitado, en el mejor de los casos, a ser una regulación del derecho de edificación? Y además ¿A través de qué instrumentos y estrategias de acción se pueden dar respuestas concretas al tratamiento de la dispersión de asentamientos en el contexto metropolitano?Abstract:Urban sprawl has become, today, the topic theme of the speech for anyone who wants to debate the problem of urban growth; a problem on which disciplinary, political and institutional interest has been concerning for long. This interest mostly corresponds with the statistics (EEA, 2006) which confirm that: 75 percent of European people live in urban areas; more than a quarter of European territory is urbanized and, responding to many realistic valutations, in 2020 approximately 80 percent of European people will be living in urban areas. It's a long, still open range of investigation where this tesis has been placed on, purely occurring in response to the consciousness that knowledge, in urbanism, is a planning and cognitive action at the same time. Therefore, the research deals with the "sprawl problems" within a metropolitan urban ambit, giving answer all the following questions: What is sprawl settlement and, above all, how does it deal with territorial ambit? Is it to consider as a new periphery, or, merely, as a sort of urbanization plan resulting from a limited urbanistic praxis turned to be a pure, building license regularization? Moreover, what kind of instruments and action strategies should have to be provided in order to really answer all the questions about settlement sprawl using within the metropolitan context?

THE DEBATE OVER METROPOLITAN GOVERNANCE IN BRITAIN TURNS ON THE CONCEPT OF STRATEGY. THIS PAPER ASKS WHETHER ANY OF THE IDENTIFIABLE MEANINGS OF STRATEGY ACTUALLY PRESUPPOSE A DIRECTLY-ELECTED METROPOLIS-WIDE BODY IN ORDER THAT THEY BE CARRIED FORWARD. ON THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION RESTS MUCH OF THE CASE FOR THE RESURRECTION OF METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT.
