This volume investigates how the structure and use of space
developed and changed in cities, and examines the role of different
societal groups in shaping urbanism. Culturally and chronologically
diverse case studies provide a basis to examine recent theoretical
and methodological shifts in the archaeology of ancient cities. The
book's primary goal is to examine how ancient cities were made by
the people who lived in them. The authors argue that there is a
mutually constituting relationship between urban form and the
actions and interactions of a plurality of individuals, groups, and
institutions, each with their own motivations and identities. Space
is therefore socially produced as these agents operate in multiple
spheres.
