At the crossroads of urban planning and economic theory, Wilbur R. Thompson's A Preface to Urban Economics presents a groundbreaking analytical framework for understanding the economic forces that shape cities and metropolitan areas. Thompson chronicles the complex interplay between urban growth, income distribution, and industrial structure, arguing that the economic health of a city is not merely a product of chance but a result of identifiable, measurable forces that can be understood and influenced by thoughtful policy. A landmark contribution to the field of urban economics, this work illustrates Thompson's rare ability to translate rigorous economic theory into accessible, policy-relevant insights, bridging the gap between academic scholarship and practical governance. Published for Resources for the Future, Inc. by The Johns Hopkins Press, it remains an essential touchstone for economists, urban planners, and policymakers alike — raising questions about the nature of urban prosperity that are as urgent today as when they were first posed.
