Description

Leading intellectuals reimagine the city as a site of ceaseless change and motion.

The metropolis is a site of endless making and unmaking. Restless Cities celebrates the ceaselessly inventive character of the metropolitan city from the nineteenth century to the present, in an original and idiosyncratic attempt to recapture its rhythms. In its explorations of phenomena like commuting, convalescing, dreaming, lodging, recycling and sickening in the city, this rich, wide-ranging book traces the patterns that have defined the individual in everyday urban life. Bringing together some of the most significant cultural writers of our time, Restless Cities is a revelatory journey into the heart of our metropolitan world.
