Hall Thomas. Planning Europe’s Capital Cities: Aspects of Nineteenth-Century Urban Development

London: Routledge, 1997. — 408 p. — ISBN10: 0203449568.During the nineteenth century many of Europe's capital cities were subject to major expansion and improvement schemes. From Vienna's Ringstrasse to the boulevards of Paris, the townscapes which emerged still shape today's cities and are an inalienable part of European cultural heritage. In Planning Europe's Capital Cities, Thomas Hall detailed analysis shows us that the capital city projects of the nineteenth century were central to the evolution of modern planning and of far greater impact and importance than the urban theories and experiments of the Utopians.Foreword by Peter HallThe cities
