Description
This collection of essays presents case studies on urban forms and fabrics from around the world, focusing on individual streets with unique historical conditions. Written by colleagues and former students of Spiro Kostof, these 21 essays explore the street as an urban institution and its role in shaping a city's form and civilization.
From pre-Columbian Inca settlements to twentieth-century Tokyo, each essay offers a detailed investigation into a single street, highlighting the complex interplay between anthropological, political, and technical aspects of street making. This critical discourse on urban space provides a rich overview of the street as a fundamental component of city life.
