Emotional Cities queries this compartmentalization of urban history by analyzing similar transformation process experienced by two cities in different regions—Cairo and Berlin—in the mid-19th century. It thus calls into question conceptions of a Western-centered universal modernization that non-Western regions are obliged to follow. The book further distinguishes itself from other studies on urban history by analyzing urban transformation through the lens of the emotions of city dwellers.
