AND MINNEAPOLIS DO NOT? This was the question that led Charles Duff to
explore the WORLD’s row HOUSE CITIES, a remarkable group of CITIES
IN FOUR NATIONS, and find that they form an urban family, bound
together by architecture, commerce, and politics for more than 400
years. The result is The North Atlantic CITIES, published in 2019 by
the Bluecoat Press. A loving but critical portrait, it starts in
Amsterdam in 1600 and ends in the present. It covers Dutch, British,
Irish, and American CITIES THAT HOUSE MORE THAN 100 MILLION PEOPLE.
