The book covers a wide range of topics related to urban design, including the importance of public spaces, the design of streets and buildings, the use of color and light, and the role of art in the city. Robinson also discusses the importance of community involvement in the design process, and provides examples of successful urban design projects from around the world. Overall, Modern Civic Art: Or The City Made Beautiful is a seminal work in the field of urban design, and remains relevant today as cities around the world continue to grapple with issues of functionality and beauty.
