Overview
A city is a place where thousands or sometimes millions of people live and work. This exciting new book looks at homes in cities including houses in the suburbs, apartment buildings, and shanty towns. Detailed photography shows what these kinds of homes are made from, what they look like inside, and what other kinds of buildings are found in cities, such as schools, stores, and skyscrapers. Other interesting topics include transportation and how people living in cities are affected by extreme temperatures, earthquakes, hurricanes, and smog. A world map identifies the cities and countries featured in the book. Teacher’s guide available.
