The Reluctant Metropolis: The Politics of Urban Growth in Los Angeles
Editorial Reviews
Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, D. J. Waldie
The failed or half-finished plans of the last 30 years are Fulton's proof that L.A. became a regional city only reluctantly, with the sputtering out of the old "growth machine" of suburban development. Fulton believes the region's discontinuities should be mended by a new consensus and managed by region-wide governments with the political will to carry out plans on the scale of a William Mulholland, Henry Huntington or Otis Chandler.
