Explores the great cities of the modern world, looking at their successes and failures. Revised epilogue discusses the implications of the 9/11 attacks. "At a time when the future of cities is being discussed worldwide, Joseph Rykwert offers us an overview of the subject" "Sunday Times"
In this vibrant cultural history of the city, Joseph Rykwert explores the great cities of the modern world, examining their fabric and assessing how successfully they have met the needs of their inhabitants. From the teeming city centres of the industrial revolution to the exclusive gated suburbs of the 21st century, from the Parisian boulevards of Haussmann to the 'green' architecture of Emilio Ambasz, Rykwert charts the complex story of the growth of the city, setting architectural development firmly within a political, economic, social, and cultural context.
