Illustrated throughout. Those of us who live in cities find our daily existence conditioned largely by the physical environment of the urban community. This book is about that environment and how it is planned and build. In, tracing the historical development of the physical form of cities it is apparent that the social order of the times has invariably fixed its impression upon the shape the form and arrangement-of cities. The cities we build today are the great designs produced by our democratic society; the urban enviroment-the living and working environment of the whole urban enviroment-is linked with the welfare of democratic institutions. Nearly every enterprise in which people engage, wether it is domestic or production and trade, is affected by and, in turn, shapes the design of cities. Real estate and finance, the social sciences and economics, the law, public adminstration and political science, architecture and building, engineering and the arts, all are woven into the physical pattern of the city. This book attempts a critical examination of the processes by which cities are planned and built, appraises some of the results, describes some of the defects, and pose a few suggestions, which may be sufficiently provocative to warrent more than passing attention. This book attempts a critical examination of the processes by which cities are planned and built. From the Preface - March 1950. Contents in Six Parts: The City of the Past, The Industrial City, The City of Today, The Planning Process, Contemporary Standards, and New Horizons.…

Gallion and Simon Eisner's The Urban Pattern: City Planning and Design is a mid-century treatise on urbanism and civic development. First published in 1950 and issued here in its September 1958 fifth printing, the work delivers a critical survey of urban form across six structural sections, tracing civic evolution from ancient gridirons and medieval enclosures through industrialization, modern zoning ordinances, and post-war suburban expansion. The volume serves as a visual archive of twentieth-century planning history. The text integrates architectural illustrations throughout, including black-and-white aerial survey photographs by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, historical fortification diagrams, regional transit plans, and legislative zoning maps. Co-authored by Arthur B. Gallion, Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Southern California, alongside municipal planning consultant Simon Eisner, the treatise addressed the socio-economic realities of mid-century urban growth. Gallion and Eisner united physical architectural design with municipal administration, housing policy, and democratic civic responsibility. The front pastedown bears an ownership signature and Syracuse University student address believed to be those of architect David Kahler, 1936 to 2026, inscribed during his fourth year at Syracuse University School of Architecture. Kahler later served as president of Kahler Slater and co-architect of the Milwaukee Art Museum's Quadracci Pavilion alongside Santiago Calatrava, making the volume a physical record of his formative architectural training.
