Professor Bird presents a synthesis of the many approaches to the
study of a central featuer of modern life - the city, including its
distant past and its future. He sees centrality as a mental
projection on to space, and discusses the concept in relation to
three types of its manifestation in spatial terms: the city as
centre of a tributary region; the centres and central areas of
cities themselves; and the city considered as a centre or gateway
for other distant regions, often overseas. This book should do much
to unravel the funamental similarities between cities of the world
while recognizing the myriad variations upon a common theme. This
book was first published in 1977.
