Centralized Power Fallacy
Lewis Mumford
The concentration of power in a single entity or central authority often leads to bureaucratic inertia and disconnection from communal needs.
Context
Urban planning and governance of large cities and regions.
Problem
Excessive centralization creates disconnect between governing bodies and local needs, often resulting in inefficient and ineffective urban management.
Solution
Distribute power to smaller, more localized governing bodies that can be more responsive to the specific needs of their communities.
