Monumental in scale and epic in development, cities have become the
most visible and significant symbol of human progress. The
geography on and around which they are constructed, however, has
come to be viewed merely in terms of its resources and is often
laid to waste once its assets have been stripped. The City in
Geography is an urban exploration through this phenomenon, from
settlement to city through physical geography, which reveals an
incremental progression of removing terrain, topography and
geography from the built environment, ushering in and advancing
global destruction and instability. This book explains how the fall
of geography in relationship to human survival has come through the
loss of contact between urban dwellers and physical terrain, and
details the radical rethinking required to remedy the separations
between the city, its inhabitants and the landscape upon which it
was built.
