First, it brings together a remarkable group of leading urban scholars to produce an in-depth examination of contemporary European cities that is unrivalled in the breadth and depth of its analysis. Second, it is a highly innovative publication, using CD ROM technology to add extra dimensions to our understanding visually and through interviews with many of the contributors to the volume. As a result ordinary books about cities will now seem somewhat threadbare in comparison to \u003ci\u003eCities of Europe\u003c\/i\u003e.
