About This Book

A critical and descriptive examination of the city's recent urban transformation, combining panoramic surveys of streets, houses, squares, parks, monuments, and proposed future developments, with a chaptered structure that treats expropriation, architectural character, and public promenades; the writer balances archaeological and artistic concerns, laments loss of picturesque medieval textures while analyzing administrative processes behind remaking the city, offers a guided picturesque promenade through altered quarters, and concludes with appendices listing renamed streets, reflections on ruins, and a discussion of earlier planners.
