Abstract: Urban areas are no longer sharply defined, and local administrators cannot ignore neighboring areas. Trained professionals are necessary today. They are employed by half of all cities in the United States with populations between ten thousand and fifty thousand. The professional's functions include planning and coordination of city and intergovernment agencies. His characteristics must include sound training, tact, patience, self-confidence, and communicative skill; also imagination and courage. More and more, the professional local administrator is called upon to be a pace-setter in city planning and operation.
