3. The modern city marks the advent of a new epoch in civilization. Its
rise has been accompanied by, and, in turn, is the result of a profound
revolution in economic, political, intellectual, and social life. The
modern man is to so great an extent a product of the modern city that in
order to grasp the full significance of the transformation the city has
wrought we must get a view of its origins and development. The city, as
we find it today, is by no means a finished product. Its growth is so
rapid and its energy so great that it changes its complexion almost
daily, and with it the character of mankind itself.
