520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Nearly everything we treasure in the world's most beautiful cities was built over a century ago. Cities draw visitors because of their exquisite architecture, walkable neighborhoods,<br/>and human scale. Yet a great deal of the knowledge and practice behind successful city planning has been abandoned over the last hundred years--not because of traffic,<br/>population growth, or other practical hurdles, but because of ill-considered theories. An accomplished architect and urbanist goes back to the roots of what makes cities attractive<br/>and livable, demonstrating how we can restore function and beauty to our urban spaces for the long term.-- Provided by publisher
