Political Philosophy of the European City - From Polis, Through City-State, to Megalopolis?

Its historical scope ranges from the ancient polis through Italian city-states to the ideal of "small is beautiful" in the 20th century. As a political theory, it offers an analysis of conservative, urban republicanism.
