This book updates and thoroughly details the most important recent trends in civic architecture and planning, but does not limit itself to this; time-honored precedents, in some cases centuries old, are referenced. This massive, encyclopedic display, drawn from over 200 international sources, has been carefully selected for use not only by trained professionals but for everyone involved in the shaping of cities and the built environment. Numerous examples culled from the works of such notable architects as Arata Isozaki, Frank Gehry, Robert A.M. Stern, Rob Krier, and many others cover all aspects of the environment, from large regional concerns down to details of the private realm.

Excerpt from Modern Civic Art: Or the City Made Beautiful In rereading this volume fifteen years after its original composition, the author is impressed by two things. One is the endorsement which the lapse of time has given to its principles. For this he can take no credit to himself, since art can no more grow old than beauty. The statement of art principles is as eternal as the truth; and so, if a book enunciates these accurately as they apply to civic art, it ought not to grow stale. The reading of the original text has revealed also the progress in municipal art which has been lately made by cities of the United States. In keeping the volumes text up to date, through its several editions, it has been gratifying to note the character of the changes necessitated in the record of fact and condition and in the citation of examples. Many of the hopes (or possibly visions) expressed in the First Edition have become actualities; some observed tendencies toward better things are now established movements; and many specific conditions, which then were criticized, now have been corrected.

This pioneering book, originally published in 1903, was one of the earliest American works to advocate the beautification of cities in order to enhance the quality of life. Robinson believes that "beautiful surroundings lead to beautiful thoughts, both in men and women" and makes a passionate case for incorporating public art into urban planning efforts. His arguments are backed up by numerous historical and contemporary examples from around the world, making this a fascinating read for anyone interested in the intersection of art, design, and civic life.
