"In a New Yorker profile in 1967, Charles Abrams was called 'an unabashed lover of cities.' His affection for urban life has inspired every line of every entry from a to Z in the Language of Cities. This is a lexicon of terms used by city-dwellers - be they tenant, landlord, schoolteacher, lawyer, tax-collector, builder, administrator, sociologist, urban planner, zoning-board member, or simple fanatic for new words or for new meanings for old words".
