Metropolis

Zusatztext

From its earliest incarnations 7,000 years ago to the megalopolises of today, the story of the city is the story of civilisation. Although cities have only ever been inhabited by a tiny minority of humanity, the heat they generate has sparked most of our political, social, commercial, scientific and artistic revolutions. A global tour of the key metropolises of history, from Urk to Baghdad, Lubeck and Venice and from Lisbon to Shanghai and Lagos. <b>A globe-spanning history of humankind's greatest invention: the city.</b>
