40 Cities Through the Lens of Patrick Abercrombie
Kees Christiaanse / Mirjam Züger
overview
This book celebrates Patrick Abercrombie's famous 'Potato Plan' and reveals its potential as an analytical tool for contemporary urban territories. Originally drawn in 1943 as part of the 'County of London Plan', Abercrombie's 'Social and Functional Analysis Map' poetically illustrates the city as an agglomeration of manifold neighbourhoods, character areas and centralities.
