City shaped : Urban patterns and meanings through history (2012 ed.) - London Thames & Hudson 2012 - 352 p. : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm

The book is about the universal phenomenon of city making seen in a historical perspective - how and why cities took the shape they did. It focuses on a number of themes - organic patterns, the grid, the city as a diagram, the grand manner, and the skyline - and moves through time and place to interpret the hidden order inscribed in urban patterns.
