Product specs

Urban historian Leo Hollis tells the story of cities, from early settlements in Mesopotamia to the megacities of today. He looks at the people, buildings and inventions that shaped how urban communities developed.

The book covers the construction of the Empire State Building, the remaking of Paris and innovations such as sewers, cars and the safety elevator. It also considers the challenges these changes have created for city life.
