  • Beschreibung: The complete 1966 edition reissued with contemporary images by Colin McLeanFeatures 82 photographs by renowned architectural photographer Edwin SmithIncludes 80 detailed plans, illustrations and mapsNew for this edition: a preface and 24 contemporary reproductions of Edwin Smith’s original photographs by Colin McLeanThis famous study of the planning, financing and building of the New Town in Edinburgh brings to life one of the most remarkable urban expansion programmes ever undertaken. A. J. Youngson introduces the modern reader to the vigour of the planning debates, the fundraising schemes, the administrative and legislative infrastructure of planning, the construction of public buildings as poles of attraction for speculative building, and all the hopes, quarrels, victories and civic bankruptcy that went into this great experiment.Superbly illustrated with photographs by acclaimed photographer Edwin Smith, along with a selection of contemporary images and a preface by Colin McLean, this book is a classic work of economic and social history, and a fascinating account of the shaping of one of the most beautiful cities in the world
