Opis

The Making of the English Urban Landscape tells the story of our towns and cities and how they came into being over the last two millennia.

Recenzje

Geoffrey Tyack has produced a rich and exhaustive almanac that shows just how - and often why - our urban landscape has evolved over time... The Making of Our Urban Landscape is a triumph. In its lavish detail and encyclopedic scholarship, it is a modern Baedeker for the whole of urban Britain, drawing us to explore this rich urban heritage for ourselves. Jerry White, Literary Review
