Scarce first edition of this book by Le Corbusier based on a series of ten lectures given by him in Buenos Aires in 1929. The focus is largely on urbanism, with chapters addressing specific problems in Paris, Brazil, Buenos Aires and Moscow, showing Corbusier’s growing international status since the beginning of his involvement with the CIAM.
