Description

 							In a captivating blend of history and reportage, Daniel Brook travels to a series of major metropolitan hubs
that were once themselves instant cities - St. Petersburg, Shanghai, and Mumbai - to watch their "dress rehearsals for
the 21st century." Understanding today's emerging global order, he argues, requires comprehending the West's profound
and conflicted influence on developing-world cities over the centuries.
  
  In 1703, Tsar Peter the Great
personally oversaw the construction of a new Russian capital, a "window on the West" carefully modeled on Amsterdam,
that he believed would wrench Russia into the modern world. In the 19th century, Shanghai became the fastest-growing
city on earth as it mushroomed into an English-speaking, Western-looking metropolis that just happened to be in the Far
East. Meanwhile, Bombay, the cosmopolitan hub of the British Raj, morphed into a tropical London at the hands of its
pith-helmeted imperialists.
  
  Juxtaposing the stories of the architects and authoritarians, the artists and
revolutionaries who seized the reins to transform each of these precociously modern places into avatars of the global
future, Brook demonstrates that the drive for modernization was initially conflated with wholesale Westernization.
