Description

Book Synopsis
Ancient cities were complex social, political, and economic entities, but they also suffered from inequality, poor sanitation, and disease - often more than rural areas. In The Ancient Urban Maya, Scott Hutson examines ancient Maya cities and argues that, despite the hazards of urban life, these places continued to lure people for many centuries.

Trade Review
Hutson reviews the changing approaches to urbanism in the Maya world and presents his working definition: “settlements qualify as cities if they possess three of the following four characteristics: specialised functions, social differentiation, large size, and high density”" - Robert Witcher, New Book Chronicle
