You will find most of the world's largest cities, such as Mexico City, Tokyo, Mumbai and New York, featured in this book, yet you can also read about many cities which are on a very different scale altogether. St. David's in Wales (with a population of only 1,600 it seems more of a village than a city), Bulgaria's 'Pearl of the Black Sea' Nessebar (population 10,000) or Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay's oldest city (population 22,000). Not surprisingly, some of the 501 cities are a lot more 'must-visit' palces than others! While Vancouver is, according to a recent survey, the world's most liveable city, Algiers is ranked as one of the worst cities in the world for crime, instability and poor infrastructure. 19 cm x 23 cm 544 page softcover.
