City squares : eighteen writers on the spirit and significance of squares around the world
Marron, Catie2016
Books
Over half of the world's citizens now live in cities, and this number is rapidly growing. At the heart of these municipalities is the square - the defining urban public space since the dawn of democracy in Ancient Greece. Each square stands for a larger theme in history: cultural, geopolitical, anthropological, or architectural, and each of the eighteen luminary writers has contributed his or her own innate talent, prodigious research, and local knowledge.
