Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an 18th-century proposal to enhance the city of Edinburgh, transform it into a bustling economic hub, and turn it into Scotland's equivalent of London. Its author argues that his plan would spark immense economic growth and vitality for the city. The author presents an innovative plan to expand Edinburgh by building a new street from the city center to the port of Leith, including a bridge over the Nor Loch, which is seen as a barrier to the city's growth. This grand project would also include the construction of a canal to connect the city to the sea, opening up new trade routes and opportunities for the city's merchants. The author's vision for Edinburgh is one of a city that is both prosperous and accessible, with a thriving economy and a high quality of life for its inhabitants. His plan is ambitious, but it is also carefully thought out and well-reasoned, and it offers a glimpse of what Edinburgh could have become had it been implemented.
