Hear from the author, Chelsea Follett, in conversation with Allan Carey, about a diverse group of cities, ranging from ancient Athens to Song-era Hangzhou. The book and conversation will explore some common themes from these extraordinary cities: most cities reach their creative peak during periods of peace; most centers of progress also thrive during times of social, intellectual and economic freedom, as well as openness to intercultural exchange and trade. Learn more about these extraordinary cities, the impact they have had on advancing human progress and the key conditions that allowed for their success.
