The 6th book in the Cambridge World History series (18 volumes)
The Cambridge World History Series is a vast world history series in which over 200 scholars from around the world have participated.
The Korean version is scheduled to be published in 18 volumes.
This book is the sixth in a series, and it shows the relationship between power and cities and the process of the birth of the imperial system.

Distribution of power, hierarchy and its discontents
By comparing and examining the growth processes of the Harappan civilization, Greek cities, and African cities including Zeno-Zeno, we examine the relationship between various forms of power and cities in history.
Across the world, there have been various types of supreme sovereigns other than Western-style absolute monarchs.
Their occurrence and growth process were verified through specific cases (Part IV).

Imagination created by the city, a city shaped by imagination
Jerusalem, the city of David, which has been destroyed and rebuilt many times throughout history; Baghdad, which was built as a circular city according to divine prophecy; Cahokia, a prehistoric city built on the banks of the Mississippi River in the Americas, which left no written records; these were all built at different times and by different imaginations, but it was the surrounding environment that determined the fate of the cities.
A comparative examination of cities, imagination, and the fate of cities (Part V)

Cities of the Ancient Empire
Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, several capitals of Assyria, and Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire.
These were all centers of military organization, state religion, and large-scale architecture, and they supplied the empire with resources and labor from afar.
As new populations poured in, new problems arose, and in some areas, problems of unprecedented types and scale arose, including disease, violence, slavery, and subjugation.
We examine the origins and evolution of various social problems that persist to this day by comparing cities from various civilizations around the world. (Part VI)
