Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
With the link between the city and civilization in mind, this text describes the varied views of the metropolis, from the classical Greek city-state to London under Margaret Thatcher, and outlines the virtues and vices of the city compared with those of the surrounding countryside. It presents a contrasting array of contemporary views of the city by artists, architects and writers who, through image and text, offer their own dreams of urbanity in an attempt to define the magnetic attraction that is the city.
