The American City was an American municipal affairs and urban planning magazine published by Buttenheim Publication Corporation from 1909 through 1942.[1][2] It was based in New York City .[3] The publication was primarily concerned with the design, care, and maintenance of civic infrastructure such as roads, parks, public buildings and public safety design.[2] It was intended to be read by municipal officials and civic workers. [4] There were two separate editions of The American City, a city and a "town and country" edition. These merged in 1920.[5]

It was edited by Arthur Hastings Grant until 1911 and then by Harold S. Buttenheim through 1942.[6] The Buttenheim Brothers, Harold and Edgar, also founded the American City Bureau, which raised funds for local Community Chests, YMCA and YWCAs, and similar agencies.[6][4]
