This book offers a new, salutogenic, perspective on the development
of early modern cities by exploring profound and complex ways in
which architecture and landscape design served to promote public
health on an urban scale. Focusing on fifteenth- through
nineteenth-century Europe, it addresses the histories of spaces and
institutions that supported salubrious living, highlighting the
intersections of medical theory, government policy, and
architectural practice in designing, improving, and monumentalizing
the infrastructure of sanitation and healthcare. Studies in this
book highlight the joint role of design thinking and scientific
practice in reforming the facilities for treating and preventing
disease; the impact of cross-cultural exchange on early modern
strategies of urban improvement; and the creation of new
therapeutic environments through state, communal, and private
initiatives concerned with the preservation of physical and mental
health, from recreational landscapes to spa resorts.
