In the spirit of Zane L. Miller, whom this volume honors, the nine contributors focus closely on the words and actions of individuals, institutions, and organizations who participated in the public discourse about what the city was or could be. Through an examination of such topics as city charters, city planning texts, neighborhood organizations, municipal recreation programs, urban government reforms, urban identity, and fair housing campaigns, the authors offer insight into the process through which ideas about the nature of the city have affected action in the urban environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributing authors are\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRobert B.
