Summary

A significant shift occurred in 2007, marking the point where more than half of the world's population lived in urban areas. This transformation, though recent, has reshaped human lifestyles and environments, often obscuring the gradual development of metropolises like Edinburgh. The New Town of Edinburgh exemplifies this evolution through its architectural innovation and historical layers. The publication 'The New Town of Edinburgh: An Architectural Celebration' explores how urban growth has been both a product of necessity and creativity, challenging the notion that modern cities are devoid of historical memory.
