This book, 'A Brief History of Urban Planning,' offers an overview of urban development from the civilizations of the Nile Valley and Mesopotamia to modern urban life. It describes the fundamental types of cities (ancient, Islamic, medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and industrial), highlighting the constants and differences between the various models. Fernando Chueca Goitia pays special attention to the problems posed by the excessive and irrational growth of large metropolises to contemporary urban planning, including dehumanization and uprooting.
Spanish architect and historian (1911-2004)
