Cities, Railways, Modernities presents the transformation of 19th-century London and Paris in the light of the futures that metropolitan railways engendered. Highlighting a wide range of past futures and routes not taken, the book reconsiders what the notion of modernity has to offer to understand urban change in modern cities.
