Global Urban History is a recent field of history, which seeks to combine new approaches in global history with the local insight furnished by urban history. In contrast to classic works that sought to write the urban history of the world, such as Lewis Mumford's The City in History or the many studies by German sociologist Max Weber, global urban history seeks to overcome the Eurocentrism implicit in much of urban history by telling "a story without a centre."^[1] As an emerging historical subfield, the goal of global urban history is to "treat cities as nerve centers of long-distance connections and engines of momentous historical developments," but also to "explore how they produced segmented, unequal, and unmixed cityscapes."^[2] It is notably associated with a group of historians at Freie Universität Berlin, who founded a blog with the same name in the fall of 2015.^[3]
