Showcasing 150 examples from over 70 German cities, it illustrates, analyzes, and compares a wide range of urban spaces, courtyards, squares, and streets.

Editor Christoph Mäckler builds on the foundations laid by early twentieth-century urban design pioneers such as Cornelius Gurlitt, Raymond Unwin, and Josef Stubben, offering a comprehensive framework for city planning. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing contributions by Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Christoph Mäckler, Werner Oechslin, Alexander Pellnitz, Jan Pieper, Birgit Roth, Mirjam Schmidt, Wolfgang Sonne, Jürg Sulzer and Anne Pfeil, and Thomas Will \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe definitive guide of the foundations of urban design, now in English \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive analysis of 150 case studies from 70 cities \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutcome of decades of research at the Deutsches Institut für Stadtbaukunst \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristoph Mäckler\u003c\/b\u003e is an architect based in Frankfurt am Main, professor emeritus of urban design at TU Dortmund, and director of the Deutsches Institut für Stadtbaukunst, which he founded in 2008.
