This article presents information on the book "The City: Its Growth, Its Decay, Its Future," by Eliel Saarinen. People are looking forward to a great Renaissance in which mankind will again be moved by other purposes than fear and greed. In this Renaissance the rebuilding of cities will have a prominent place; and the author know of no single book on the subject so comprehensive, so free from crotchets and pedantries, so generous and yet so practical, as Eliel Saarinen's. Saarinen does not spurn the city planning which is merely good housekeeping; but he looks beyond immediate needs.
