What is a city? Do people make cities or do cities make people? And can cities have second lives?
We all inhabit cities, but what do they mean to us? What do we mean to them? Is the city a real thing in the twenty-first century? How do we integrate their pasts to their futures? What are the threats facing cities in the western world? These are just some of the questions posed by the fascinating studies in
this book. Through essays, poems, psychogeography, short stories and more, an array of today’s leading writers and thinkers join together to look at cities in the western world.
