Description

How did our most renowned cities grow into the metropolises we know today? This unique cartography book looks at the city plan from the Renaissance until modern times. It surveys the city during the Enlightenment, Colonialism, and Industrial Revolution; explores Asian and frontier cities; looks at the administrative city plan; and presents the modern pictorial city map. Descriptions provide historical, political, social, and/or economic context, and biographies of the cartographers highlight their contributions.
