Now in paperback, the two volume "The Metropolis Era" focuses on the social, economic, political and technological determinants of growth and change in the great cities of the world. The two volumes describe the consequences of rapid change for the cities and the people who live in them. The contributors look not only at the pathological consequences, but also at the advantages which giant and mega cities offer their residents. They present case studies which focus on new challenges to the world's great cities, and discuss the various forms of urban decline in the giant metropolises of developed nations.
