Hall's scholarship sustains this thousand pages

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 6. August 2006

Verifizierter Kauf

Hall's study of the rise and fall of cities may be thick, but his pages sparkle with insights that frequently seem applicable to one's neighborhood and sometimes even one's self. If the vastness of Hall intimidates, read the introductions and conclusions to each section first, as a way of showing yourself what's coming and why it matters. This technique can flesh out the importance of the fine details of his chapters. (Similarly, the separate "books" within this one can be read separately.)

For anyone with an interest in urban issues, Hall presents worlds within worlds. For instance, his study of Paris in 1905 shows brilliantly how Picasso's genius was more likely to flower there than anywhere else at the time, and his industrial storytelling shows why Glasgow was uniquely poised to move the shipping of the world from sail to steam. This is a vast book, but it weaves so many threads together that it has to be. One reading, even of so large a book, will not be enough.

Very detailed and long!

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 15. Januar 2007

Verifizierter Kauf

This book was a textbook to me. It's a huge work with lots of details. You won't just read "This was a city in this region where these people lived and did this kind of work." You will read how the city got started, how it rose and fells, and the repercussions of what went on there. You will heard specific names and dates, and all kinds of complex information. Unless you are a history major, this book may seem very daunting, but if you want to know everything, here you go! Okay, it doesn't cover every single city ever, but it is a great companion to other books. If your interest is American history, then I also recommend Ronald Takaki's 'A Different Mirror."

Brilliant -- a Book of the Century

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 15. März 2001

I concur with the observations of Manuel Castells above. I'd add that this book is extraordinary for its pure breadth of intellect coupled with a writing style that draws the reader in to make the hundreds of pages pass by like mileposts on an uncongested freeway.
As the trend to narrow, boring, specialization turns academia into a wasteland, Sir Peter has no qualms about weaving together his extraodinary knowledge of history, social science, literature, performing arts, technology -- you name it, he is able to show insight about it. All of this comes together in a natural way to reveal the nature of creativity that has made cities special.
The author is a keen observer, and there's is something new, unexpected, and intriguing at every turn. Indeed, I have to blame the author for far too many sleepless nights as I lay in bed helpless to put down this magnetic book, which shows and imparts that very pleasure in learning that accompanied periods which have made cities great.
This is a book of a century, and should be read by everyone, but no student of cities, urban studies, geography, history, or social sciences should be without it.

An interesting and somewhat academic treatment, but worth having and therefore worth reading. I think I gave this to my brother for a Christmas present - he likes this sort of thing, you know.

Just because Sir Peter is one of the world's three most tiresome polymaths doesn't mean that we should read this book. Other than that I loved it.

The Jacques Barzun of the city

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 1. April 2002

This book reminds me very much of Jacques Barzun's FROM DAWN TO DECADENCE both in size and scope. Barzun looked at 500 years of Western cultural life and Sir Peter Hall has much the same interests, although he goes back some 2500 years and is more narrowly focused on urban culture. The title CITIES IN CIVILIZATION could be the other way around as Hall is interested in the Golden Ages that seem to have been a feature of all the great cities in history. "The Renaissance" he says "was an urban phenomenon; so was every great burst of creativity in human history." Hall then is seeking the civilization in cities.
Two other books that this one could be (should be, has been) compared with are THE CULTURE OF CITIES and THE CITY IN HISTORY, both by Lewis Mumford. Hall knows this and quickly dispatches the comparisons. "I do not at all share the Mumfordian view that the great city is doomed." Fair enough but his work remains valuable to urban historians and Hall's comment that "Mumford was fundamentally a brilliant polemical journalist, not a scholar" is uncalled for and irrelevant. I'm glad Hall got his academic tetchiness out of the way early and didn't bring it up again, because being subjected to such jibes and digs over the course of the 1000 pages of this book would have been unpleasant. And Hall doesn't need to resort to that anyway.
This book is a detailed, well researched exploration of the unique nature of the city as "a crucible of creativity". The first section of the book looks at artistic creativity - the most recognizable type of Golden Age and most closely associated with the foundation cities of Western civilization - Athens, Vienna, Florence, Paris, London and Berlin. Other themes are innovation and its technological and economic manifestation in urban settings. Here we visit Manchester, Glasgow, Detroit, San Francisco (more accurately Palo Alto and "Silicon Valley") and Tokyo. Hall then looks at two cities - Memphis and Los Angeles that he says offer a mix of artistic, technological, and economic exuberance. He is referring to the music and film industries. In his final section he acknowledges the emergence of regional urban areas and global cities and while recognizing the challenges they pose, he is not daunted and remains optimistic about the future of urban life. His coming Golden Age of a new urban order faces three challenges. That of transport technology and sustainable urbanism, an unequal urban world (the megacities of the Third World) and the threats to economic, family, and civic life.
If persons with interest in any aspect of urbanism don't find some mention of their pet subject in this vast sweep of urban life over the last two millennia, it's simply because they haven't waded through. And that's the only caveat about Hall's work. In the best traditions of old English learning this book is dense and it's not written in the snappiest of prose either. Cities are a testament to the slow processes of humanity. You'll have to rely on one of those tendencies - patience - when working your way through this book. In the end it's well worth it.
