Planned Offering: Not offered in 2011-2012

This course considers the designs and appearances of major European cities that were originally created in antiquity, that managed to survive (and even flourish) during the Middle Ages, and that then reached a newer, fresher, and more ideologically cohesive appearance during the modem age. Students will travel to the city of Paris, France and examine its origins and evolution, with particular attention paid to its development during the 17th , 18th , and 19th centuries. Bent.
