Outline of Town and City Planning, published in 1935, is a study of city planning both as an art and as public policy. The book is in one part a history of city planning, from early efforts in ancient Egypt, Asia, and the Americas, to modern day principles and the future of city planning in the United States. It is also an analysis of how changes in the character and size of cities have influenced the scope and practice of city planning.

One mechanism by which unequal access to policymakers and policymaking occurs is the “Revolving Door,” through which employment ties between former government employees and private industry serve as a conduit for influencing policy.
