5. The cultural needs of the community find expression in the city in
the form of schools, theaters, museums, parks, monuments, and other
public enterprises. They exert an influence extending beyond the
boundaries of the city itself, and may be regarded as agencies for the
definition of the person’s wishes. They are indicative of the level of
social life which the community has achieved.

6. The leisure-time activities which the city produces are so intimately
connected with the life of the people that they furnish clues as to the
pathology or disorganization typical of city life. The dance hall, the
movie, the amusement park, the back-yard or vacant lot improvised
playground, and the many other forms of public, commercialized, or
improvised recreation facilities are phases of group life which cannot
escape the Sociologist.
