This book traces how naturalism-the idea of a common theory uniting
natural social systems-has contributed to major shifts in urban
planning. Beginning in the 17th century, when the human body began
to emerge as an inspiration for urban planning, the book examines
the work of medical analyses of city life. Responding to the 19th
century industrial revolution and 20th century modernism, the
Second World War and mass motorisation, Dr Marco Amati shows how
vitalism, eugenics, evolutionary theories and medical treatments
were applied to understand cities and propose new urban forms.
While critically evaluating the uses of naturalism, Amati also
observes a renewed interest in the application of sciences to
analyse city life, arguing that this is essential to help resolve
challenges of human-induced climate change.
