, Relph, Edward, 1944-. The modern urban landscape. Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992, 3d printing, 279pp., PAPERBACK, very good. "For Edward Relph, the urban landscape must be envisioned as a total environment - not just streets and buildings but billboards and parking meters as well. The Modern Urban Landscape traces the developments since 1880 in architecture, technology, planning, and society that have formed the visual context of daily, life. Each of these shaping influences is often viewed in isolation, but Relph surveys the ways in which they have operated interdependently to create what we see when we walk down a street, shop in a mall, or stare through a windshield on an expressway.". 9780801835605 ISBN 0801835607.…
