What is it about?
Chapter one outlines the backdrop of the nineteenth-century political and cultural history and discusses themes that occur throughout the book. Here the place of architecture is traced out within broader state urban planning policies, such as sanitary improvements, cultural policies, and issues of symbolic representation related to various parties’ changing sentiments and loyalties. The chapter concludes by demonstrating how writings on architecture, as well as the acts of building and using structures, mirrored shifting understandings of private and public space.
