Modernizing Bangkok
Nineteenth-century change brought new institutions and a different urban scale to Bangkok, visible in the contrast between royal-era precincts and later civic streets.
Why go
Modernizing Bangkok provides the bridge between the royal-era city and its later civic form. Nineteenth-century institutions changed the capital’s scale, while the contrast between older precincts and newer streets makes that transition visible. The subject explains why adjacent parts of Bangkok can embody markedly different urban ambitions.
Useful to know
Notice the contrast between royal-era precincts and later civic streets.
