It chronicles the entire process, from the initial urban planning concepts to the final execution of the magnificent palaces and apartment buildings that line the boulevard. The book focuses not just on the famous architects but also on the builders, craftsmen, and the social context of this monumental undertaking in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Richly illustrated with historical photographs, plans, and documents, it serves as a key resource on the urban and architectural history of Budapest during the Austro-Hungarian era. -- Contents: Preface; The Millenary Underground; Vorosmarty Square [Vorosmarty Square; German Theatre and the Redoute; Frigyes Feszl]; Deak Square [Lutheran Church in Deak Square; Mihaly Pollack]; Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Street [St Stephen's Basilica; Jozsef Hild; Andrassy Avenue]; Opera House [Opera House; Miklos Ybl]; Oktogon [Grand Boulevard; Alajos Hauszmann]; Vorosmarty Street [The Old Art Hall and the Model School of Design]; Kodaly Circus [Kodaly Circus; Calvinist Church in Varosligeti Fasor]; Bajza Street [Mulberry Garden; City Park Lane]; Heroes' Square [Heroes' Square; Albert Schickedanz; City Park]; Szechenyi Bath [The Szechenyi Bath; City Park Skating Hall; Odon Lechner]; Mexikoi Street [Elizabeth Women's School; Bela Lajta]; References; Sources of the pictures.
