What role does architecture and trade play in creating civilized societies? How can we create
urban environments where the individual can flourish? These questions have taken on a new
significance as COVID-19 has reshaped the way cities operate. This collection of essays
examines the history of urbanism and trade in order to shed perspective on the future of the
city. Nine contributors discuss how architecture  urban planning and trade have contributed to
civility and political order. The authors cover historical topics from Florentine frescos and
churches to ideas on citizenship and statehood from Rosseau  Hobbes and Machiavelli  as well as
more contemporary issues such as the impact of global capital on the functioning of public
space. Contributors include: Yolande Barnes  Erica Benner  Anne Fairfax  Antony Molho  Kjell A.
Nordström  Juliet Samuel  John Simpson  Nicholas Boys Smith and Maurizio Viroli.
