- Summary:
- Spanish civil engineer, Ildefonso Cerda, invented the term 'urbanization' in 1860-61. His theory was the first in modern times to focus methodically on the city as a construction, its evolution and the workings and interaction of its constituent parts.
- This book is split into 5 sections: The Technical, Administrative, Legal, Economic and Political Bases of Urbanization. It is the first time Cerda's work has been published in English.
