Charles Graves writes to tell us about his upcoming book, The Genealogy of Cities, “a compilation of ancient and modern city plans, from 350 BCE to the present, depicting both built and proposed plans. … [I]t is illustrated with more than 500 plans drawn at the same scale, a unique feature of this work. … Also included in this volume is a CD containing nearly 1000 plans that will allow the user to print the urban plans at any scale.” Sounds interesting.
