Resumen
This book by Rasmunssen examines London with an extraordinary spatial expanse, character-ized by its free and original layout, made up of the union of different towns, and with an abun-dance of free spaces. It is an interesting analysis of the British capital, which examines small urban structures such as squares with a special emphasis, as well as their attractive vertical houses. The author of the review makes note of the passion shown by Rasmussen, which causes him to forget certain defects present within the city, such as the positive view upon the continuity of the layout found in the City. The author finds this last element to be something negative, which explains the unsatisfactory present situation. It also explains the unconvincing Victorian London, which the Danish professor ignores, as well as the inability to convert the river into a true city center after having relegated Southwark to the condition of a suburb.
