Städteprojekt im Jänner: The Great Cities in History

Mein Städteprojekt beginnt in diesem Jahr mit einer Reise rund um die ganze Welt und auch durch die Geschichte. In kurzen Essays werden Großstädte von Uruk, Theben und Hattusa bis New York, Sidney und Shanghai vorgestellt.
 
Meine Jänner-Projektbuch:

John Julius NORWICH (Hrsg.)
The Great Cities in History

Description: From the origins of urbanization in Mesopotamia to the global metropolises of today, great cities have marked the development of human civilization. The Great Cities in History tells their stories, from Uruk and Memphis to Tokyo and Sao Paulo. A galaxy of distinguished contributors evoke the character of each place - its people, its art and architecture, its government - and explain the reasons for its success. Richly illustrated with photographs, paintings, maps and plans, this volume is nothing less than a portrait of world civilization.
