Summary

The intention here is to offer an introduction to Lewis Mumford´s (1895 -1990) encyclopaedian and interdisciplinary work as a whole, with particular emphasis on the urban planning dimension, and its relationship with sociological theory and cultural anthropology. There is also a critical analysis of some of his most relevant texts, extracted mainly from The Culture of the Cities(1938) and The City in History(1961), and articulated in connection with the cultural aspects of his urban concept.
