architectural training and professional experience. The history of urbanism on the European continent
thus forms a fundamental basis for urbanist thinking.

This textbook offers a synthetic, chronological and illustrated overview of the essential ideas, protagonists
and paradigms that dominated the theory and practice of urbanism on the European continent from
Antiquity to the present day. It is conceived as a series of modules, each covering a distinctive period,
discussing the general cultural context and illustrating key planning concepts, patterns and typologies
by means of case studies and information boxes.

Directly derived from the authors’ longstanding research and teaching practice, this book gives a
critical and contemporary perspective on the established canon and stimulates innovative pedagogic
approaches. The dynamic and expandable digital learning environment includes case studies, additional
information and audiovisual illustrations.
