"The Creation of Modern Athens: Planning the Myth is the first book to examine the urban development of Athens in the nineteenth century. By following two parallel processes - the building of the new capital and the construction of a new national Greek identity - Bastea demonstrates that Athens's elaborate urban design and civic architecture, although initiated by foreign-trained architects, reflected both international neoclassical ideals as well as the national aspirations of the modern Greek nation."--Jacket.
