An ambitious book covering urbanisation and urbanism worldwide, from earliest times to the present. It draws on historical and comparative perspectives, offering fresh analyses of world urbanisation in the contemporary period of globalisation, emphasising the enduring paradox of the city, which juxtaposes splendid cultural productions with the poverty and deprivation.
