WE BUILT THIS CITY
We might take for granted our beloved cities that have always been there for us, but there was a time they did not exist at all. This series offers illuminating photographs and compelling stories explaining what it took to build these cities, who lived on the land before the buildings rose, and all the types of people from all over the world who worked together to build them, from the first house to the largest skyscraper. Chapter notes, suggested readings, a glossary and index are included for each book.
