Binding tight and solid. Considered among the greatest works of Lewis Mumford a prolific historian, sociologist, philosopher of technology, and longtime architecture critic for the New Yorker The Culture of Cities is a call for communal action to "rebuild the urban world on a sounder human foundation. " First published in 1938, this radical investigation into the human environment is based on firsthand surveys of North American and European locales, as well as extensive historical and technological research. Mumford takes readers from the compact, worker-friendly streets of medieval hamlets to the symmetrical neoclassical avenues of Renaissance cities. He studies the squalor of nineteenth-century factory towns and speculates on the fate of the booming twentieth-century Megalopolis whose impossible scale, Mumford believes, can only lead to its collapse into a "Nekropolis, " a monstrosity of living death. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
