The Cambridge Urban History of Europe

Split into three volumes chronologically, The Cambridge Urban History of Europe comprehensively and methodically examines Europe's long urban history from its pre-historic roots through to today. Featuring over a hundred essays from experts across various disciplines and countries, the volumes provide an up-to-date analysis of current issues and major themes in urban studies, and sheds new light on regions that are often ignored or receive marginal treatment. The volumes explore topics including, but not limited to, urban landscapes, urban planning, warfare, health care, gender roles, economics, mobility, and religion from a cross-disciplinary perspective to create a broad picture of Europe's urban existence across time to the present. Authoritative and contemporary, the collection is a state-of-the-art survey of the history of urban Europe.
