A world tour through the systems of city life

Across 24 cities, the book pairs familiar ways of getting around—from cycling in Copenhagen to riding Seoul’s metro and navigating Venice’s canals—with a closer look at the systems that make urban life work. Its city-by-city format connects landmarks and local ways of life to broader questions about how people build, move through, and organize their surroundings. The tour also draws attention to similarities and differences between cultures, framing cities as practical expressions of human ingenuity as well as places to explore.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in cities, travel, and how communities work.
  • Young readers who enjoy learning facts about places and comparing cultures.
  • Families or classrooms looking for a global introduction to urban life and infrastructure.

Book overview

From the author of Epic Adventures and the award-winning Adventures on Trains series, Epic Cities takes readers on sight-seeing adventures all around the world.

Unique and enthralling aspects of each city will invite readers to consider the hidden systems that support their own ways of life, noticing details about the world, and discovering amazing similarities and differences with people across the planet. Go cycling in Copenhagen; catch the metro in Seoul; punt the canals in Venice - each destination has something to tell us about the clever, hidden ways our world works.

A celebration of human ingenuity, the marvellous structures of beautiful cities, and a sweeping tour of the world's most fascinating cultures, this book would be perfect for readers who enjoy travel, learning secret and surprising facts about the world, and how everything fits together.
