Now available in a student edition, the Handbuch der Stadtbaukunst is a compendium of essential urban design expertise. Using 150 examples from over 70 German cities, it illustrates, analyzes, and compares a wide range of urban spaces, courtyards, squares, and streets. Editor Christoph M ckler builds on the textbooks of the early twentieth century by Cornelius Gurlitt, Raymond Unwin, and Josef St bben and offers a well-grounded framework for city planning.

The student edition is available as a set consisting of volumes 1-4. The individual volumes can also be purchased separately.
