«Breve História do Urbanismo» is the historical essay by Fernando Chueca Goitia, published by Editorial Presença in paperback (229 pages, in Portuguese).
The essay traces the history of urbanism from the Nile Valley and Mesopotamia to the contemporary city. It describes the fundamental types —ancient, Islamic, medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and industrial— and their differences; it addresses the excessive growth of large cities and the dehumanization and uprootedness.
