Design of Cities

In a brilliant synthesis of words and pictures, Edmund N. Bacon relates historical examples to modern principles of urban planning. He vividly demonstrates how the work of great architects and planners of the past can influence subsequent development and be continued by later generations. By illuminating the historical background of urban design, Bacon also shows us the fundamental forces and considerations that determine the form of a great city.Bacon, Edmund N. is the author of 'Design of Cities', published 1976 under ISBN 9780140042368 and ISBN 0140042369.
