A compelling work of urban studies and social history, Living in Cities presents a sweeping examination of how human civilisation has shaped, and been shaped by, the urban environment. Anthony Ridley chronicles the development of cities from their earliest incarnations through to the modern metropolis, illustrating the intricate relationship between architecture, infrastructure, and daily life. With an authoritative and accessible tone, the book argues that understanding the city is essential to understanding modern society itself. Drawing on rich historical detail and vivid examples, it details the social, cultural, and architectural forces that have made cities the defining achievement — and challenge — of human civilisation.
