城市出现前是什么样子的?人类为什么要建造城市?城市是什么?城市如何演变成今天这个样子?城市会消亡吗?6000年前,世界上还没有城市。如今,世界上超过一半的人口居住在城市地区,而且这个数字还在不断增长。我们在城市进食、生存、繁衍、进化,而今凝望着城市,我们依旧思索这一切的意义。 本书将考古、历史和当代观察结合在一起,作者用自己的亲身经历,带领读者探索布拉克、乌尔、庞贝、蒂卡尔、特奥蒂华坎、摩亨佐-达罗、西素帕勒格勒赫等古城市,叙述了城市的兴起及其与我们之间的联系,揭示了城市生活中令人着迷的日常生活细节。起初,布拉克不过是美索不达米亚山丘上一个不起眼的地方,蒂卡尔不过是玛雅丛林深处的一个十字路口,特奥蒂华坎不过是一个有些黑暗的地下洞穴,西安不过是一条河流蜿蜒穿过的无尽的山丘和农田。6000年前,这些地方之所以能够变成城市,其原因不在于地质或地形,而在于它们成了人类定居的锚点。城市的崛起并非必然,但对人类至关重要,而且城市也将继续存在下去。
