Summary:

Urbanism as Civic Art presents essential expertise on the art of building cities. Showcasing 150 examples from over 70 German cities, it illustrates, analyzes, and compares a wide range of city spaces, courtyard spaces, plaza spaces, and street spaces. The book impressively documents the distinctive qualities of European cities: their beauty, durability, mixed usage, social diversity, density, and the clear separation between public and private space. Editor Christoph Mäckler builds on the foundations laid by early twentieth-century urban design pioneers such as Cornelius Gurlitt, Raymond Unwin, and Josef Stübben, offering a comprehensive framework for city planning
