Restless cities
The metropolis is a site of endless making and unmaking. From the attempt to imagine a “city-symphony” to the cinematic tradition that runs from Walter Ruttmann to Terence Davies, Restless Cities traces the idiosyncratic character of the metropolitan city from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first-century megalopolis. With explorations of phenomena including nightwalking, urbicide, property, commuting and recycling, this wide-ranging new book identifies and traces the patterns that have defined everyday life in the modern city and its effect on us as individuals. Bringing together some of the most significant cultural writers of our time, from Iain Sinclair, Geoff Dyer and Esther Leslie, to Marshall Berman, Sukhdev Sandhu and China Miéville, Restless Cities is an illuminating, revelatory journey to the heart of our metropolitan world.
