Product Description

The transition to urban life, which came as the next stage after the transition to settled life, is one of the cornerstones of our civilization and has required the testing of very different models since its inception. This surprising variety of models, such a fusion of experiences, should be regarded as a common characteristic of all stages of emergence, and the emergence of cities, in a sense, should be perceived as the emergence of the modern world.

The Birth of Cities is a broad panoramic tour, starting from the dubious urbanization examples of the Neolithic Age and then the Sumerian city-states, extending to the colossal metropolises that emerged in the last millennium BC, and covering the geographies of Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and Anatolia. After the excursion the work takes them on, the reader will find that many pieces regarding the origins of their civilization have settled more clearly and distinctly in their mind.
