Josef Konvitz provides a broad comparative study of European port cities since the Renaissance by examining how they were built and rebuilt in the context of urban industrialization. Konvitz argues that as seafaring became more critical to Western civilization, intellectuals and rulers placed more importance on urban planning. Planning looked different, of course, in various European cities. In Paris, riverside planning was patched into the existing frame of the city, whereas Scandinavian towns on the Baltic were over-designed to accommodate a degree of maritime trade unsustainable for cities writ large. In the eighteenth century, city planning fell out of vogue, and new solutions were introduced to help solve the problems created by urban development. With a series of helpful maps, Konvitz's book is an important source for urban historians of early modern Europe. 606 $aPort cities$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01746576 606 $aCity planning$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862177 606 $aPort cities$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aCity planning$zEurope$xHistory 607 $aEurope$2fast 615 0$aPort cities. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aPort cities$xHistory. 615 0$aCity planning$xHistory. 676 $a309.2/62/094 700 $aKonvitz$b Josef W$0248409 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524699003321 996 $aCities & the Sea$92777520 997 $aUNINA
