Summary

Radovan Miščević: The Phenomenon of the City

Richly illustrated in color.

The monograph of the eminent urbanist and architect Radovan Miščević 'The Phenomenon of the City' is the first general review written by a Croatian author about the history of the city and the significance of this phenomenon in the development of civilization, as well as a kind of synthesis of the author's long-term urban planning and architectural experience and continuous research of this very current and complex topic in order to understand the complexity and integrality of the problem, as well as the application of the results in planning, design and the arrangement of our cities in order to stop wandering, failures and gross devastation of the most valuable potential spaces.

From the back of the book:
In relation to the city, capitalism has been breaking with history from the very beginning. As its forces consolidated over the last four centuries, so did its destructive dynamism. Human constants had no place in the capitalist system. The only constants he recognized were greed, avarice, pride and the desire for money.
Lewis Mumford

Today we are asked dramatic questions: "Where is the city going, is the quality of the city and its human meaning being lost?" We find the answers in the truths and lessons of the past, which tell us that urbanism is a reflection of the time in which it was created. All our efforts to solve the problem indicate that isolated and closed cities of human divisions are unsustainable, that such cities are exposed to coercion, degenerative changes and the need to create new ideas for the urban organization of the city and the life of its inhabitants.
