The Rise and Fall of Big Cities
In this book, the author traces the origins of cities 7,000 years ago, Outlines the history of urban development, and reveals the true mystery of "what makes a city". Each chapter discusses one or more representative cities of the time, including Athens, Alexandria, Rome, Venice, Lisbon, Amsterdam, London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Shanghai, which were major cities that served as trade and cultural focal points in a given era.
We build cities, but they in turn fundamentally reshape our lives - and even more so in today's information age.
