The principles of civic art applied to rural conditions including village improvement and the betterment of the open country. Big issues are stirring in the rural districts of America. The farming communities, and the small towns dependent on them, have reached a stage of genuine and confident prosperity. It is no longer a question with them whether they can live through the winter and pay the interest on the mortgage. The main problem is not now how to make more money, but how to live more comfortably. This small volume covers many topics including roadworks, architecture, horticulture, the use of public spaces, and civic duties aimed for the inhabitants of small towns. - Summary by leon harvey
