Hegemann and Peets' classic work on urban planning is an
encyclopedic compilation of over twelve hundred illustrations,
photographs, and diagrams. Their work was first published in 1922
and presented for the first time a comprehensive survey of what we
would consider modern urban planning or urban design principles.
Their work, often referred to simply as 'Civic Art, ' remained out
of print for a number of years. This compact edition, part of the
'Fundamentals in Urban Planning' series, presents the full text and
graphics of the original edition in an affordable and portable
version. CONTENTS: I. The Modern Revival of Civic Art II. Plaza and
Court Design in Europe III. The Grouping of Buildings in America
IV. Architectural Street Design V. Garden Art as Civic Art VI. City
Plans as Unified Designs VII. The Plan of Washington
Hegemann and Peets' classic work on city planning was first
pubished in 1922. Today, their reference serves as one of the
foundation texts for New Urbanism and associated movements. Civic
Art presents over 1200 examples of urban planning principles
spanning from classic Roman and Greek times through turn of the
twentieth century American design. Hegemann and Peets' work
provides a highly relevant context through which to evaluate modern
city planning.
