De Uruk e Babilônia até Shanghai e Lagos, passando por Bagdá, Veneza, Londres e Nova York, Ben Wilson nos conduz numa viagem pelos principais centros urbanos ao longo de milhares de anos.

Durante toda a nossa existência, nada nos moldou mais profundamente do que as cidades. Essas aglomerações permitiram que encontrássemos outros modos de nos relacionar e favoreceram a criação de novas profissões e formas de arte, culto e comércio.
Partindo dos primeiros assentamentos mesopotâmicos, o historiador Ben Wilson reconstitui essa história fascinante que soma mais de 7 mil anos, revelando as práticas e inovações impulsionadas pelos seres humanos quando reunidos num mesmo espaço. Os exemplos vão desde a educação cívica na ágora de Atenas, o comércio global em Bagdá, as finanças nos cafés de Londres até a apreciação da vida cotidiana em Paris. A narrativa também abarca as últimas décadas, quando o crescimento populacional e o embate entre o urbano e a natureza impuseram novos desafios às cidades e a seus habitantes.
Um passeio por milhares de anos e paisagens extraordinárias, Metrópole demonstra como a história das cidades é também a nossa própria história.
