[1ST ED] Can Our Cities Survive? -- an ABC of urban problems, their analysis, their solutions -- based on the proposals formulated by the C.I.A.M.
CAN OUR CITIES SURVIVE? First edition of this topical question, published by Harvard University Press in 1942. Edited by José Luis Sert and based on proposals by Congrès international d'architecture moderne (CIAM). First edition with RARE dust jacket by Herbert Bayer. Front board NF, light rubbing to rear board. Considerable chipping to dj, with open tears to spine ends, though the title and author have been preserved in full. Front and rear cover, spine and rear flap have become detached, though they remain visually seamless; rear flap missing. All in all, an impressively preserved and incredibly rare dust jacket.
