Publisher's Synopsis
""The Improvement Of Towns And Cities: Or The Practical Basis Of Civic Aesthetics"" is a book written by Charles Mulford Robinson and published in 1901. The book is an exploration of the ways in which towns and cities can be improved to make them more aesthetically pleasing and functional for their inhabitants. Robinson argues that the design and layout of urban spaces have a profound impact on the quality of life of those who live and work in them, and that it is therefore essential to pay careful attention to these factors when planning and developing urban areas. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of public spaces, the design of streets and buildings, the use of public art and sculpture, and the importance of green spaces and parks. Robinson draws on examples from cities around the world to illustrate his points, and provides practical advice for urban planners and architects looking to create more livable and attractive urban environments. Overall, ""The Improvement Of Towns And Cities"" is a seminal work in the field of urban planning and design, and remains relevant today as cities continue to grow and evolve. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and theory of urban design, as well as for those involved in the practical work of creating and improving urban spaces.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
