The Cities Book

Cities represent civilization and human achievement: they are bubbling microcosms of virtues and vices, vanguards of technology and creative pursuits, incubators of traditions and melting-pots of diversity. More than half the world's population now lives in cities, and for travelers they hold an endless fascination.

Orasele reprezinta civilizatia si realizarile umane: ele sunt microcosmosuri clocotitoare de virtuti si vicii, avangarde ale tehnologiei si activitati creative, incubatoare de traditii si topitori de diversitate. Peste jumatate din populatia lumii traieste acum in orase, iar pentru calatori detin o fascinatie interminabila.
