The Improvement Of Towns And Cities

The Improvement of Towns and Cities: Or The Practical Basis of Civic Aesthetics is a book written by Charles Mulford Robinson and first published in 1901. The book is a comprehensive guide to urban planning and design, aimed at improving the aesthetic quality of towns and cities. Robinson argues that the appearance of a city is just as important as its functionality, and that good design can have a positive impact on the well-being of its citizens. The book covers a wide range of topics, including street design, building materials, parks, and public spaces. Robinson provides practical advice on how to create attractive and functional urban environments, and includes numerous illustrations and photographs to illustrate his points. The Improvement of Towns and Cities is considered a seminal work in the field of urban planning and design, and its ideas and principles continue to influence architects, planners, and policymakers today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and theory of urban design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
