Mesopotamia was the birthplace of urban history: the earliest-known
cities developed there, the product of millennia of anthropological
processes. They controlled almost every aspect of life as centres
of cultural, artistic, political, social and economic activity.
Drawing on material from both Babylonia and Assyria, he
demonstrates that these ancient cities were prototypes for the
modern urban experience. (Kirkus UK)
Urban history starts in Mesopotamia. In this volume Marc Van De Mieroop examines the evolution of the very earliest cities which, for millennia, inspired the rest of the ancient world. The city determined every aspect of Mesopotamian civilization, and the political and social structure, economy, literature, and arts of Mesopotamian culture cannot be understood without acknowledging their urban background.
