ABSTRACT
The twentieth century was full of irreversible human-made changes in both cityscape and landscape. The end of twentieth century was notable for the well-celebrated beginning of a new millennium on December 31, 1999, but the author believe that the terrorist attacks on New York's World Trade Center and Washington's Pentagon marked the beginning of significant changes in how to rebuild America in the twenty-first century, and that, therefore, that day of infamy marks the change from the old century to the new one more clearly than the brouhaha about "Y2K" and the potential disarray of the computer-dependent capitalist society. As the twenty-first century continues on the way, coda is intended to illuminate how improving the processes reviewed above might affect the spider's web of interacting factors that characterize the metropolitanized system. This chapter discusses that people need to return to appropriate concepts of good government and public finance.
