It provided a revolutionary analysis of how cities function, and of the political, economic, demographic and geographic factors that cause their growth and decline. Noteworthy too is Botero's strikingly original use of sources in his analysis: moving beyond familiar classical and biblical references, he drew groundbreaking insights from reports by travelers and missionaries about cities in the non-European world, especially in China.Though seminally important to the history of urban studies, On the Causes of the Greatness and Magnificence of Cities has not been available in a modern translation until now. This edition of the treatise - which includes an introduction by Geoffrey W. Symcox on the intellectual context within which it was conceived - is a must-read for anyone interested in the life of cities both historical and contemporary. 410 0$aLorenzo da Ponte Italian library. 606 $aCities and towns$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aUrban economics$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aSociology, Urban$vEarly works to 1800 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns 615 0$aUrban economics 615 0$aSociology, Urban 676 $a307.76 700 $aBotero$b Giovanni$f1540-1617,$0250891 702 $aSymcox$b Geoffrey 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452485103321 996 $aOn the causes of the greatness and magnificence of cities, 1588$92288403 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01153nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00427344 005 20231205104852.692 100 $a20130620f1914 |0itac50 ba 101 $afre 102 $aFR 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aJoseph de Maistre$fpar Antoine Albalat 210 $aLyon$aParis$cEmmanuel Vitte$d1914 215 $a210 p., [25] c. di tav.$d21 cm. 410 1$1001UON00427346$12001 $aˆLes ‰grands catholiques par l'anectode, le detail et l'image$1210 $aLyon$aParis$cEmmanuel Vitte. 606 $aMAISTRE JOSEPH MARIE, COMTE DE$3UONC051509$2FI 620 $aFR$dParis$3UONL002984 620 $aFR$dLyon$3UONL003148 676 $a844$cLetteratura francese.
