Drawing on a body of research covering primarily Europe and the
Americas, but stretching also to Asia and Africa, from the
mid-eighteenth century to the present, this book explores the
methodological and heuristic implications of studying cities in
relation to one another. Moving fluidly between comparative and
transnational methods, as well as across regional and national
lines, the contributors to this volume demonstrate the necessity of
this broader view in assessing not just the fundamentals of urban
life, the way cities are occupied and organised on a daily basis,
but also the urban mindscape, the way cities are imagined and
represented. In doing so the volume provides valuable insights into
the advantages and limitations of using multiple cities to form
historical inquiries.
