Cities, Railways, Modernities chronicles the transformation that
London and Paris experienced during the nineteenth century through
the lens of the London Underground and the Paris Metro. By
highlighting the multiple ways in which the future of the two
cities was imagined and the role that railways played in that
process, it challenges and refines two of the most dominant myths
of urban modernity: A planned Paris and an unplanned London. The
book recovers a significant body of work around the ideas, the
plans, the context and the building of metropolitan railways in the
two cities to provide new insights into the relationship of
transport technologies and urban change during the nineteenth
century.
