The Changing Structure of American Cities
Using historical and numerical analysis and the five‐part schema, this study finds that over the past 50 years structural modifications and adaptations by American cities have generally followed the standard S curve of the diffusion of innovation.

This study indicates that the mayor-council and council-manager categories, although legally based, mask several important empirical characteristics of U.S. city govern…
