Discover the Hidden Mechanics of Your City
Ever walked past a fire hydrant, a power line, or an abandoned building and wondered about its untold story? Roman Mars, the acclaimed podcaster behind 99% Invisible, turns everyday urban elements into fascinating narratives in The City in Detail: How the Modern Megacity Really Works.
This book is a field guide to seeing the metropolis anew. Mars applies his unique lens to everything from forgotten structures and electrical grids to bustling business districts and historic neighborhoods. Each chapter reveals the surprising history, humor, and thought-provoking design behind the objects we take for granted.
Instead of a dry textbook, The City in Detail transforms a simple walk into an immersive attraction. You’ll never look at a streetlamp, a curb, or a skyscraper the same way again. Perfect for architecture enthusiasts, urban planners, or anyone curious about the invisible systems that shape our daily lives.
