What makes a city endure and prosper? In this masterful survey of a
thousand years of urban architecture, Wolfgang Braunfels identified
certain themes common to cities as different as Siena and London,
Munich and Venice. Most important is an architecture that expresses
the city's personality and most particularly its political
personality. Braunfels describes and classifies scores of
cities--cathedral cities, city-state, maritime cities, imperial
cities--and examines the links between their political and
architectural histories. Lavishly illustrated with city plans,
bird's-eye views, early renderings, and modern photographs, this
book will delight and instruct architects, urban planners,
historians, and travelers.
