Illustrated profusely throughout with photographs, maps, sketches, tables, and advertisements. 4to. Orig. wrpps., some slight edge wear. Torino (Istituto Nazionale di Urbanistica) 1949-1972. The first series of Urbanistica was published bimonthly from 1932 to 1945, edited first by Pietro Betta and from issue no. 4 by Armando Melis De Villa. Several single issues were also published from 1945 through 1948. In 1949, the Institute resumed its activities and began publication of a new series of the journal, starting over with issue no. 1. The publication has undergone several changes over the years, at times focusing more on urban issues and topics abroad or centralized within Italy, depending greatly on the vision of the editor at the time. Publication continues in the present day.
