Modern Civic Art - Charles Mulford Robinson - Bog

Modern Civic Art: Or The City Made Beautiful is a book written by Charles Mulford Robinson and originally published in 1903. The book explores the concept of civic art - the idea that cities should be designed and built with aesthetic considerations in mind, in order to create beautiful and inspiring urban environments. Robinson argues that civic art is not just about creating pretty buildings and public spaces, but also about improving the quality of life for city residents. He discusses the importance of factors such as green spaces, public transportation, and pedestrian-friendly streets in creating a livable city. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs, as well as case studies of cities that have successfully implemented civic art principles. Robinson also provides practical advice for city planners and architects on how to incorporate these ideas into their work. Despite being over a century old, Modern Civic Art remains a relevant and influential work in the field of urban design. It has been praised for its vision and foresight, and continues to inspire urban planners and designers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
