A definitive classic, Lewis Mumford's massive historical study brings together a wide array of evidence - from the earliest group habitats to medieval towns to the modern centers of commerce - to show how the urban form has changed throughout human civilization.Mumford explores the factors that made Greek cities uniques and offers a controversial view of the Roman city concept. He explains how the role of monasticism influenced Christian towns and how mercanitile capitalism shapes the modern city today.The City in History remains a powerfully influential work, one that has shaped the agendas of urban planners, sociologists, and social critics since its publication in the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49663890620656,"sku":"NEW0156180359","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/4623\/6400\/files\/81VNmJDd1vL.jpg?v=1777867702","url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/the-city-in-history-its-origins-its-transformations-and-i","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
