ABSTRACT
THIS CHAPTER IS CONCERNED with work, particularly as it relates to urban people. As we will note, man's application to work, because he lives by it, permeates all other interests of his life; and this is true whether he lives in the city or the country. Necessarily, the chapter will deal with work as seen at close range, but we need to keep in mind that there is also a wider perspective, one which applies more to urban than to rural work. Urban work, which is best described as industrial, is interrelated not only in local terms but in networks that extend into wider areas. Because it is interrelated, it is also highly interdependent, and this interdependence tends to be as wide-reaching as industrial urbanism itself.
