Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Capital cities have been the seat of political power and central stage for their state's political conflicts and rituals throughout the ages. In the modern era, they provide symbols for and confer meaning to the state, thereby contributing to the ""invention"" of the nation.

This volume addresses the reciprocal relationships between identity, regime formation, urban planning, and public architecture in the Western world |
