A landmark history of urban formation by the architectural historian Akira Naito and the illustrator Kazuo Hozumi. The first volume, "The Stirrings of a Giant City," elucidates the Tokugawa shogunate's transformation of wetlands into a city, and the second volume, "The Flowering of Urban Civilisation," reconstructs the water supply network, fireproof buildings and ecosystem of townspeople's culture of a city of a million through architectural cross-sections and ukiyo-e-like drawing. It chronicles the life history of the organism called Edo with scholarly rigour and artistry.
