The diverse attitudes & wishes associated with the city are expressed, inter alia , in certain documents. This collection presents the most important of these documents. This will help the reader to understand the difficulties & may assist in the search for solutions. There may be differences of opinion over historical facts & documents may be subject to differing interpretations. Convenient access to the relevant documents is a prerequisite for any attempt to understand the problem & seek solutions.
