"Well, I didn't read this particular book, but the original (1965) reprint of Sitte's classic City Planning... (I suppose 1/2 of this book. They used to be a separate pair). Great stuff - it enticed me to abandon the T-square for at least an hour. (ultimately Autocad was more successful in this regard)."
