The historic city is a concept; a creation of the human imagination. The raw materials from which the imagination shapes it, however, may be, and usually are, composed of tangible physical structures, forms, and shapes as well as nontan-gible memories and associations with past events and personalities: all of which can be related to actual physical locations on the Earth's surface.
