This book is a major survey of urbanization and the making of
modern Europe from the mid-eighteenth century to the First World
War. During these years Europe experienced startling rates of
urbanization, with the populations of numerous cities growing by
1000 percent or more. This book explores the causes, course and
consequences of this urban explosion. The authors link urban growth
to industrialization, migration, and the growth of colonial
empires. They show how the social, political, and intellectual
challenges cities posed were met by urban reformers; how cities
enriched cultural life; and how European cities influenced and were
influenced by colonial cities. No other book in English situates
the story of cities within the overall framework of European and
imperial history during the long nineteenth century. Cities and the
Making of Modern Europe will be essential reading for students of
both modern European history and urban history.
