Summary:

"The Austrian philosopher, economist and member of the Viennese circle, Otto Neurath (1882-1945) developed the language of the pictorial statistics over a period of more than two decades. In the search for the "humanization of knowledge", he revolutionized quantitative maps and thus allowed a broad public access to socio-political data. In this book, Sophie Hochhäusl argues that Neurath's "City Planning" map was not only one of the first available socio-political maps of a city, but also a heuristic architectural tool. It thus explores the extent to which Neurath understood the city as an agglomeration of social facts, and to what extent "City Planning" contributed to the planning on this basis."-- Publisher's website.
