«Nacimiento de una ciudad moderna. El subsuelo» is the popular science book by David Macaulay, published by Timun Mas in paperback, with 116 pages.
The book shows in cross-sections the underground of a modern city: pipes, water systems, transport tunnels and other infrastructure. With detailed illustrations and accessible explanations, it describes how these systems are built and operate beneath streets and buildings, and the maintenance that urban life demands.
Recommended for readers aged 14 and up. The volume combines colour and black-and-white illustrations, with Spanish texts labelling elements such as pumps and pipes.
For young people and adults interested in architecture, engineering and the hidden workings of cities.
