A history of Los Angeles from its beginnings as an agricultural village of fewer than 2,000 people to its emergence as a metropolis of more than 2 million in 1930 - a city whose distinctive structure, character, and culture foreshadowed much of the development of urban America after World War II.

Addresses the problems of urban decline and suburban sprawl, transportation, city politics, open space, and the character and fabric of cities.
