Reseña del editor:

Young readers will get a real sense of how towns and cities have developed all over the world from medieval towns and the extreme cities in the jungle and polar regions. What is suburban bliss and why are some of our cities dying?

Read this book from start to finish for a riveting social history or dip in and out for some fascinating and often hilarious facts. The informal style of writing is supported by wonderful illustrations and photographs throughout; this is a book that will engage and inform children of 8 years and above.
