Beschreibung

Urban Planning explores the historical roots of modern urban design by examining the architectural principles and urban infrastructure of ancient cities. It reveals how ancient civilizations tackled issues like population density and resource management, challenges still pertinent today. The book uniquely highlights the enduring influence of ancient planning on contemporary urban landscapes. For instance, the grid street layouts, found in many modern cities, were first implemented in ancient Mesopotamia. The book progresses from introducing core urban planning concepts, through case studies of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, to analyzing specific aspects of ancient urban design. Chapters delve into street layouts, examining grid systems and their impact on traffic flow, and infrastructure, investigating ancient water management. By drawing parallels between ancient practices and modern challenges, the book provides valuable insights for creating sustainable and livable cities. It demonstrates that many contemporary urban innovations have their origins in ancient solutions, adapted over time.

    An acclaimed sociologist's exploration of the connections among performances in life, art, and politics 
     
     
      
    In The Performer, Richard Sennett explores the relations between performing in art (particularly music), politics, and everyday experience. It focuses on the bodily and physical dimensions of performing, rather than on words. Sennett is particularly attuned to the ways in which the rituals of ordinary life are performances. 
     
     
      
    The book draws on history and sociology, and more personally on the author’s early career as a professional cellist, as well as on his later work as a city planner and social thinker. It traces the evolution of performing spaces in the city; the emergence of actors, musicians, and dancers as independent artists; the inequality between performer and spectator; the uneasy relations between artistic creation and social and religious ritual; the uses and abuses of acting by politicians. The Janus-faced art of performing is both destructive and civilizing.
