THIS BOOK STARTS AT THE POINT where the ancient orders of life had completed their decline and the Middle Ages began.
From the rear cover
What makes a city endure and prosper? In this masterful survey of a thousand years of urban architecture, Wolfgang Braunfels identifies certain themes common to cities as different as Siena and London, Munich and Venice. These themes include suitability of site to city function; the capacity to adapt to changing demographic and economic conditions; and---perhaps most important---an architecture that expresses a city's personality and most particularly its political personality.
