Every chapter seeks to weave the story of the architecture and urban remodeling of a particular century or era with the current events of that period.As a history buff seeking to strengthen my understanding of Romersquo;s urban development before our upcoming visit; this book was exactly what I was looking for. At its most successful; the authors manage to weave the historical background in with their architectural interests; to explore questions such as ldquo;Why was Rome founded where it was? How does the evolution of the forum and fora reflect evolving standards of government? How did Constantine (or any of a number of emperors) modify the cityrsquo;s building programs? How did the medieval city garrison separate sections in mini-fortresses? How did individual popes envision urban improvements and church construction?rdquo; These explorations are helpfully supplemented with 228 maps and illustrations. Nevertheless; some chapters lose a bit of the historical narrative thread; and so can feel a bit too much like laundry lists of lsquo;street redesigns and buildings of a particular century.rdquo;The book is rich; absorbing; and generally successful.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

The many fires he chronicles help to understand why a great city crammed in to a small space could be so decimated over and over again.
