The City Manager: A New Profession is a book written by Harry Aubrey Toulmin Jr. and first published in 1915.

Toulmin argues that the growing complexity of modern cities requires a professional approach to their management, and that the city manager is ideally suited to meet this need. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the history and development of city management, and discusses the various challenges faced by city managers. Toulmin also examines the qualifications and skills required to become a successful city manager, and explores the relationship between the city manager and other stakeholders, such as elected officials and citizens.The second part of the book focuses on the practical aspects of city management, and provides a detailed guide to the various functions and responsibilities of a city manager. Toulmin covers a wide range of topics, including budgeting, personnel management, public works, and community development. He also discusses the importance of effective communication and collaboration in achieving the goals of city management.Overall, The City Manager: A New Profession is a seminal work that helped to establish the field of city management as a distinct profession. It remains an important reference for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the management of modern cities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
