Summary:

"This volume sets a contemporary problem of urban life squarely in its historical context - the problem of the city centre. The author asks how it is that the central business district of Paris, unlike the City of London, should have survived for so long without being rebuilt, despite demands of commerce and convenience."--Publisher.
