Metropolis Berlin by Iain Boyd Whyte
Details the construction of Berlin, and explores homes and workplaces, circulation, commerce, and leisure in the German metropolis as seen through the eyes of all social classes, from the humblest inhabitants of the city slums, to the great visionaries of the modern city, and the demented dictator resolved to remodel Berlin as Germania.

Astonishing in its range." -- Ritchie Robertson Times Literary Supplement (TLS) "Rich and engrossing... Berlin's transformation takes place vividly before our eyes." -- Andrew Mead The Architectural Review
