Book: The Genealogy of Cities

The Genealogy of Cities, ISBN-13: 978-0873389396, March 2009 by Charles P. Graves Jr.
The Genealogy of Cities is a compilation of ancient and modern city plans, from 350 BCE to the present, depicting both built and proposed plans. Written in clear and accessible prose, it is illustrated with more than 500 plans drawn at the same scale, a unique feature of this work. It provides a previously unavailable tool for academics and professionals who must grapple with the issue of scale in researching and teaching urban design or when creating new urban spaces.
