Wilcox, Delos F. _The American City: A Problem in Democracy_ (New York, 1906). A work dealing mainly with the administration of the city. Chapter i, “Democracy and City Life in America,” chapter ii on “The Street,” and v on “The Control of Leisure” are suggestive. (VI; VII, 5.) 4. One of the latest phases of city growth is the development of satellite cities. These are generally industrial units growing up outside the boundaries of the administrative city, which, however, are dependent upon the city proper for their existence. Often they become incorporated into the city proper after the city has inundated them, and thus lose their identity. The location of such satellites may exert a determining influence upon the direction of the city’s growth. These satellites become culturally a part of the city long before they are actually incorporated into it. Taylor, Graham Romeyn. _Satellite Cities: A Study of Industrial Suburbs_ (New York and London, 1915). The most comprehensive study of its kind. (III, 4; VII, 2; IX, 1.) Wright, R. “Satellite Cities,” _Bellman_, XXV (November 16, 1918), 551–52. 5. The city has come to be recognized as the center of culture. Innovations in social life and in ideas gravitate from the city to the country. Through its newspapers, theaters, schools, and museums, through its traveling salesmen and mail-order houses, through its large representation in the legislatures, and through many other points of contact with the inhabitants of the rural periphery about it, the city diffuses its culture over a large area. The city is in this respect an important civilizing agent. Desmond, S. “America’s City Civilization: The Natural Divisions of the United States,” _Century_, CVIII (August, 1924), 548–55. Holds that America is creating a new type of city civilization of a decentralized type. Several outstanding American cities are described as cultural entities and as exerting a dominating influence over a large rural area, thus suggesting the emergence of cultural provinces. (III, 1, 2, 3; IX, 2.) Petermann, Theodor. “Die geistige Bedeutung der Grossstädte,” in the volume, _Die Grossstadt_ (Dresden, 1903). One of the best concise statements on the cultural significance of the city from the standpoint of the rural periphery. (IV, 6; IX, 1, 2; X, 1, 2, 3.) Wells, Joseph. _Oxford and Oxford Life_ (London, 1899). An example of a cultural type of city from the functional standpoint, and its influence. (II, 2, 3; III, 4.)
