The evolution of the great European cities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries provokes an inevitable comparison to the rise of the global metropolis of the 21st century. Berlin, the quintessentially modern city, provides an excellent example, having been forced to redefine and rebuild itself several times in the last 150 years. After reunification it has reassumed its place as a global capital at the cultural heart of Europe. Metropolis Berlin reconstructs the built environment of the German capital at the apex of its modernity through the collection of more than 200 texts published for the first time in English. The book views homes and workplaces, public spaces, and places of commerce and leisure through the eyes of Berliners of all social classes, offering a unique look at one of the worlds great cities.
