This book creates a rich profile of Budapest during its heyday and examines the effect of extreme changes in the city's urban environment on its citizens.
This book recounts the history of Budapest at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, during the heyday of its development. Gyani creates a rich profile of Budapest's citizens as they faced a newly congested social universe, rapidly evolving physical space, and extreme changes in their urban living experience as the city expanded.
