The Urban Millennium focuses upon the spatial adaptation of cities as a factor in urbanization. Konvitz explores how the evolution of city building strategies has accompanied and facilitated other aspects of urban development. By taking a long historical perspective, he shows that cities were more easily adapted to changing circumstances before and dur­ing the industrialization. Konvitz also draws out the implica­tions of his analysis for contemporary urban problems. He challenges many contemporary assumptions of architec­ture and city planning and suggests that we should learn to appreciate an ap­proach to building which allows for the continual modification of individual structures and districts, and which places more control over the environ­ment in the hands of the users.
