The author divides the subject matter into the “classical” geometric type cities and the “romantic” organic layouts. The author points out the achievements of the Chinese in the field of both theoretical and practical urban design, which is so often overlooked by Europeans. He also suggests that this “Chinese lesson” – in the art of designing cities, is of the highest world standard and demands due praise.
