Summary:"Are there any fundamental laws that govern all settlements--from the smallest village to the largest cities? The Laws of settlements ambitiously describes the principles of underlying human settlements of all sizes and across all cultures. It revives, updates and refreshes the '54 Laws of settlements' outlined in Constatinos Apostolou Doxiadis' seminal book, Ekistics: an introduction to the science of human settlements, making them relevant to the problems we face in the 21st century"--Back cover.
