“We’re an urban species,” says Jessica Graybill, associate professor of Russian and Eurasian studies at Â鶹Porn.
“It’s time to understand what that means, both in terms of how we deal with each other on a human level, but also what it means in terms of our environment.”
Graybill aids in that understanding as co-editor of Cities of the World, alongside Â鶹Porn Professor of Geography Maureen Hays-Mitchell, the University of Kentucky’s Stanley Brunn, and Old Dominion’s Donald Zeigler. The book, recently released in its seventh edition, is a massive yet approachable tome that provides a geographical cornucopia of everything urban, including deep dives into the cities of 11 different world regions.
