A history of future cities

---

This books offers a rich panorama of the mechanism at work in cities which may one day displace London, Paris and New York as the torchbearers of progress. As such, it deserves our full attention. The author has an eye for the ironies that riddle history. His powers of observation and easy prose provide a pleasurable read and a thought-provoking historical narrative leading up to contemporary urbanization. Whatever the futures of these four cities hold, the author cautions that progress and growth need more than construction projects and infrastructure..
