Description
The Georgian city of Bath experienced an extraordinary period of growth in the 18th century. Without a master plan, developers took advantage of the city's growing popularity as a spa and resort to create elegant streets, landscaped spaces, tall stone-built houses, and public buildings. Today, Bath is renowned for its masterpiece of urban design, both nationally and internationally. This book provides an in-depth look at the development of Georgian Bath, from its beginnings to its emergence as a thriving city. It explores the social conditions that underpinned its success and examines the architectural legacy that remains. The individuals responsible for creating this iconic city are also introduced, along with the economic and stylistic forces that drove their work. The book is supported by photographs, illustrations, and maps, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in architecture, history, or urban planning. Three suggested walking tours are also included to help readers experience the city's Georgian heritage firsthand.
