In Cities , the acclaimed historian John Reader takes us on a journey of the city—from its earliest example in the Ancient Near East to today’s teeming centers of compressed existence, such as Mumbai and Tokyo. Cities are home to half the planet’s population and consume nearly three-quarters of its natural resources. For Reader, they are our most natural artifacts, the civic spirit of our collective ingenuity. He gives us the ecological and functional context of how cities evolved throughout human history—the connection between pottery making and childbirth in ancient Anatolia, plumbing and politics in ancient Rome, and revolution and street planning in nineteenth-century Paris. This illuminating study helps us to understand how urban centers thrive, decline, and rise again—and prepares us for the role cities will play in the future.

評分记得之前玩文明5,一个文明建立的标志不是文字的发明、甚至不是农业,而是那一群人在一个地方开始定居,建立自己的城市,才算是诞生了一个新的文明。 其实农业与城市是共生的,但并不是充分必要条件。 加泰土丘的人们聚集在一起超过一千年。他们一起务农,产出非常好...
