• catalog abstract "Suburban development is often considered synonymous with enhanced personal mobility, single-family housing, and life cycle homogeneity. According to this view, individual suburbs are residence-only enclaves, isolated commuter-sheds for a managerial and mercantile elite. Magnetic Los Angeles challenges this common vision of the expanding, twentieth-century city as the sprawling product of dispersion without planning, lacking any discernable order. Greg Hise argues that the twentieth-century metropolitan region is the product of conscious planning - by policy makers, industrialists, design professionals, community builders, and homebuyers - in direct response to political and economic conditions of the 1920s and the Depression, the defense emergency, and the immediate postwar years. The book has three aims. First, it places the history of city building in southern California in a national context. Second, it explains the changing form of American cities during the twentieth-century using Los Angeles as a primary case study. Where other accounts focus exclusively on housing and home building, this book reveals a major rearrangement of urban functions and the concomitant dispersion of industry and commerce. The third, most ambitious, intention is to uncover and interpret the imaginative structures residents and scholars have devised for understanding American cities and thereby contribute to a reframing of current debates in urban theory.".
