“We’re an urban species,” says Jessica Graybill, associate professor of Russian and Eurasian studies at �þ���Ƶ.

“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 �þ���Ƶ 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.
