Are contemporary megacities the natural outcome of progress, or the sign of a model that has reached its limits? By revisiting the history of cities, by cross -referencing ancient texts, contemporary data and the realities on the ground, this book offers an original and rigorous reading of humanity's urban trajectory. Babel, the first city to leave a universal trace, serves as a common thread: as a surprisingly current reading grid. This book shows how excess, loss of human reference points and excessive complexity weaken urban systems, and how old principles can inform the choices of the twenty -first century. At once a historical essay, a contemporary analysis and a forward -looking reflection, Babel - Cities for Men is aimed at all those who wonder how to inhabit the world without exhausting it, and about the place that humans must maintain at the heart of the cities they have created.
