This Thursday, June 17, join Michael Goebel, Tracy Neumann, and Joseph Ben Prestel – the editors of the Global Urban History Blog and now the new Cambridge University Press Elements in Global Urban History series – to celebrate the publication of the first two Elements: Why Cities Matter by Richard Harris and Real Estate and Global Urban History by Alexia Yates. After an introduction from Goebel, Neumann, and Ben Prestel, Harris and Yates will converse with commentators Jennifer Robinson and Sheetal Chhabria. Registration information can be found here.

Next month, The Metropole and the Global Urban History Blog will collaborate on a series of posts about the Elements – so consider this a sneak peek at our upcoming content!
