دانلود کتاب The Modern Urban Landscape

First published in 1987, The Modern Urban Landscape provides a wide-ranging account of how modern cities have come to look as they do ― differing radically from their predecessors in their scale, style, details and meanings. It uses many illustrations and examples to explore the origins and development of specific landscape features. More generally it traces the interconnected changes which have occurred in architecture and aesthetic fashions, in planning, in economic and social conditions, and which together have created the landscape that now prevails in most of the cities of the world. This book will be of interest to students of architecture, urban studies and geography.
