Since its publication more than 25 years ago, this book continues to impress; it looks in detail at what makes great streets around the world. Unlike so many books about streets which rely on photographs, its value lies in the scaled drawings - figure-grounds, sections and plans - of famous streets and spaces: the Ramblas, the Champs-Elysees, Stroget in Copenhagen, Fifth Avenue, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Edinburgh’s Princes Street, and even Venice’s Grand Canal, to name just a few.
