Opis

This book explores the plethora of ideas and ideologies that have shaped and reshaped cities in profound ways. Six chapters reveal dreams that were fundamental to the origin of great cities, show how desires are sometimes left defeated and disillusioned, and consider factors such as climate, resources, and humanity’s idiosyncrasies.
