The twentieth century witnessed an unprecedented increase in the number of capital cities worldwide - in 1900 there were only about forty, but by 2000 there were more than two hundred. And this, surely, is reason enough for a book devoted to the planning and development of capital cities in the twentieth century. However, the focus here is not only on recently created capitals.
