Author:
Lewis Mumford
About the book
Mumford examines the characteristics that distinguish Greek cities and presents a divisive viewpoint on the Roman city notion. He demonstrates how monasticism inspired Christian communities and how today's contemporary metropolis is shaped by mercantile capitalism.
Since its publication in the 1960s, The City in History has had a significant impact on the agendas of urban planners, sociologists, and social critics.
