Metropolis - The City as Humankind's Greatest Invention

During the two hundred millennia of our existence, nothing has shaped us  more profoundly than the city.   Led through the centuries by Ben Wilson's remarkable METROPOLIS,  we shall journey through twenty-six world cities and across seven thousand years to learn how the city has spurred humankind's greatest innovations.  As we follow his itinerary, we develop a new slant on human history from religion to war, food to art, from disease to comfort.
