War and the City (Hardcover)

Cities have evolved from small urban systems designed to withstand attack from without. The demands of the modern city have shifted the focus to the dangers of internal violence. "War and the City" analyzes the role of the cities in war and the effects of war on cities. Greg Ashworth examines the relationship between war as an activity and cities as particular spatial settings. The author brings together the characteristics of cities and the defence function, arguing that the two have an important influence on each other. The study synthesizes both military history and the geography of urban defence to question both the past and the future of the city at war.
