A History of the Greek City

This ambitious volume presents an archaeological history of the city in Greece, and its colonial world from the first Neolithic urbanisation to the present day. The chapters are arranged chronologically, each author concentrating on a particular period, or phase or process of urban transformation. The editor states in the preface that "although emphasis is placed on the character and the characteristics of built space, neither the socio-historical context nor the reality of the city and the settlement as dynamic domains of economic, social, political and military processes have been ignored".
