xiii, 192 p. : ill. ; maps ; col. ; 29 cm. "Maps are rarely given the same attention as other print media or art forms in urban history. Author Min Kyung Lee shows their rich potential in this lavishly illustrated study, which brings together maps and other archival materials along with drawings and paintings. She works across disciplines to examine mapping practices in the development of nineteenth-century Paris and the transformative role that urban mapping had on the city’s modernization. Lee investigates Paris’s formation as a modern city, ultimately framing the practice of cartography as a catalyst for the emergence of new spatial and compositional theories." -- Provided by publisher Master plans -- Triangulating the city -- Drawing grids -- The bureaucracy of plans -- Cartographic presentations -- The total view of the city -- Min Kyung Lee.
