Description:This is the first book devoted entirely to the planned circular city, a persistent theme in urban history from the ancient world to our own time. Illustrated with fabulous diagrams and drawings, it traces the evolution of the circular city, both as a theoretical ideal and as it has actually been built in Europe, the near East, and the Western Hemisphere. The author has visited all of the major sites, collecting maps and publications, talking with local officials, and comparing the present settings with the original plans. Through his eyes, the circular city is seen as both a work of art and the formal expression of an ancient and enduring ideal; as the focus of human aspirations but also - in the form of brilliantly intricate fortifications - the creature of human aggressions and fearsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
