During the nineteenth century many of Europe's capital cities were
subject to major expansion and improvement schemes - from Vienna's
Ringstrasse to the boulevards of Paris.
Thomas Hall examines the planning process in fifteen of those
cities and addresses the following questions: when and why did
planning begin, and what problems was it meant to solve? Who
developed the projects, and how, and who made the decisions? What
urban ideas are expressed in the projects? What were the legal
consequences of the plans, and how did they actually affect
subsequent urban development in the individual cities? What
similarities or differences can be identified between the various
schemes? How have such schemes affected the development of urban
planning in general?
