Arnold J. Toynbee analyses the role of cities in history, from the first human settlements arising from the Neolithic revolution to modern New York. Throughout these pages he examines how Athens, Rome, Venice and other great cities have been centres of innovation, culture and power, and how their evolution has marked the development of civilisation.

For readers interested in the history of civilisations and the development of cities over time.
