Beschreibung
Cities shape the people who live in them, while in turn, people shape the cities in which they live. In this book, Quill R Kukla explores how city living is distinctive, and how people build territories for themselves and make themselves at home in cities. Through a philosophical exploration of what it means to be a city dweller, and rich and detailed explorations of particular cities such as Berlin, Johannesburg, and Washington, D.C., City Living shows how the cities we live in penetrate every dimension of our lives, from how we move to how we see, and conversely, how city dwellers creatively bend their cities to their needs.
