Spiro Kostof looks at the city as a human creation found in every part of the world and every period of history. Rather than treating urban forms as accidents, he asks why cities developed the layouts and structures they did, tracing the social, economic and cultural forces that shaped streets, squares and buildings across time. The result is a broad survey that connects the physical fabric of towns and cities to the people who built and lived in them.
