CIAM 8: The Heart of the City – Towards the Humanisation of Urban Life is a seminal 1952 publication that documents the proceedings of the eighth Congress of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture (CIAM), held in Hoddesdon, England, in 1951. Edited by Jaqueline Tyrwhitt, Josep Lluís Sert, and Ernesto N. Rogers, the book explores a critical shift in modern urban planning, advocating for the revitalization of city centers to foster human interaction and community life. Featuring contributions from leading architects and urbanists, including Sigfried Giedion and Le Corbusier, it examines the balance between functionality and the social needs of urban dwellers. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, plans, and diagrams, the volume serves as an important historical record of post-war urban theory. Published by Pellegrini and Cudahy in New York and Lund Humphries in London, The Heart of the City remains a foundational text in the discourse on urban design and the humanization of modern cities.

The very best seller I have encountered on eBay! I plan to do business with Westchester Books again, if they will accept my business. Sadly, I had to return the books I purchased from them, through no fault of theirs. They were patient, responsive, and understanding. If you could choose only one book seller on eBay, Westchester Books is the one you should choose. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!! Great seller! Fast shipping. Excellent packaging. Great value. I plan to buy again from this seller.
