Focusing on the dynamics of urban governance, this volume explores the intricate relationships between elite groups and power in cities from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. By merging economic, social, and cultural history with political analysis, it presents case studies that challenge the notion of a singular elite. Readers are invited to reconsider urban power as a complex interplay among diverse economic, social, political, and cultural elites, fostering a deeper understanding of historical urban dynamics.
