In one sense, we can trace all the problems of the American city back【C1】______a single starting point; we Americans don’t like our cities very much.
That is, on the【C2】______of it, absurd. After all, more than three-fourths of us now live in cities , and more are【C3】______to them every year. We are told that the problems of our cities are【C4】______more attention in Washington, and scholarship has discovered a whole new【C5】______in urban studies.【C6】______, it is historically true: in the American psychology, the city has been a basically suspect institution,【C7】______with the corruption of Europe, totally lacking that sense of spaciousness and innocence of the【C8】______and the rural landscape.
I don’t pretend to be a scholar on the history of the city in American life. But my thirteen years in public【C9】______, first as an officer of the U. S. Department of Justice, then as Congressman, and now as Mayor of the biggest city in America have taught me【C10】______too well the fact that a strong antiurban attitude【C11】______consistently through the mainstream of American thinking. Much of the【C12】______behind the settlement of America was in reaction【C13】______the conditions in European industrial centers and much of the theory【C14】______the basis of freedom in America was linked directly to the availability of land and the perfectibility of man outside the corrupt influences of the city.
What has this to do with the predicament of the modern city? I think it has【C15】______to do with it. For the fact is that the United States【C16】______the federal government, which has historically established our national priorities, has simply never thought that the American city was "worthy" of【C17】______—at least not to the【C18】______of expending any basic resources on it.
Antipathy to the city predates the American experience. When industrialization【C19】______the European working man into the major cities of the continent, books and pamphlets appeared【C20】______the city as a source of crime, corruption, filth, disease, vice, licentiousness, subversion, and high prices. [br] 【C17】
