First published in 1987, this book provides a wide-ranging account
of how modern cities have come to look as they do - differing
radically from their predecessors in their scale, style, details
and meanings. It uses many illustrations and examples to explore
the origins and development of specific landscape features. More
generally it traces the interconnected changes which have occurred
in architecture and aesthetic fashions, in planning, in economic
and social conditions, and which together have created the
landscape that now prevails in most of the cities of the world.
This book will be of interest to students of architecture, urban
studies and geography.
