How does a city obtain water, gas, and electricity? Where do these services come from? How are they transported? The answer is infrastructure, or the inner, and sometimes invisible, workings of the city. Roads, railroads, bridges, telephone wires, and power lines are visible elements of the infrastructure; sewers, plumbing pipes, wires, tunnels, cables, and sometimes rails are usually buried underground or hidden behind walls. Engineering the City tells the fascinating story of infrastructure as it developed through history along with the growth of cities. Experiments, games, and construction diagrams show how these structures are built, how they work, and how they affect the environment of the city and the land outside it.

Excerpt from Engineering Work in Towns and Cities The publishers say a preface is necessary; otherwise this would not have been written, for the first chapter is essentially an extended preface. In 1893 a report was made to the Trustees of a small town in California, on matters pertaining to municipal improvements, by the author, who then held the dual position of Town Engineer and Street Superintendent, incidentally serving also as Engineer for the local Board of Health. Titles were cheaper than fees and the average Councilman thinks titles have a charm for engineers. In 1894 the articles were collected in pamphlet form under the name of "Public Works, A Treatise on Subjects of Interest to Municipal Officials." The book was nicely received and some of the reviews were almost a reprint; not a difficult thing in view of the few pages it contained. In 1900 it was entirely re-written and the number of pages multiplied by three. This second edition also had a flattering sale. As the first had been purchased largely by engineers, the second edition was more of an engineer's book and the title was modestly changed to read ''Municipal Public Works, An Elementary Manual of Municipal Engineering." That title might have been retained had not Mr. Whinery in 1903 brought out his book, "Municipal Public Works," intended solely for the non-technical reader. In 1906 the first edition of the present book appeared. It was essentially the pamphlet of fifteen years ago; the same book grown up. It aimed to fill a want experienced by all engineers on first taking up the duties of city or town engineer. So far as the author could ascertain, there was then no book to be had covering the ground. How well it met the need has seemingly been evidenced by the number of appreciative letters received by the author. It has made him grateful and humble. It has also fired his ambition to do better some day. The first edition of "Engineering Work in Towns and Cities" was really two books.

Between the catastrophic flood of the Tiber River in 1557 and the death of the “engineering pope” Sixtus V in 1590, the city of Rome was transformed by intense activity involving building construction and engineering projects of all kinds. Using hundreds of archival documents and primary sources, Engineering the Eternal City explores the processes and people involved in these infrastructure projects—sewers, bridge repair, flood prevention, aqueduct construction, the building of new, straight streets, and even the relocation of immensely heavy ancient Egyptian obelisks that Roman emperors had carried to the city centuries before. This portrait of an early modern Rome examines the many conflicts, failures, and successes that shaped the city, as decision-makers tried to control not only Rome’s structures and infrastructures but also the people who lived there. Taking up visual images of the city created during the same period—most importantly in maps and urban representations, this book shows how in a time before the development of modern professionalism and modern bureaucracies, there was far more wide-ranging conversation among people of various backgrounds on issues of engineering and infrastructure than there is in our own times. Physicians, civic leaders, jurists, cardinals, popes, and clerics engaged with painters, sculptors, architects, printers, and other practitioners as they discussed, argued, and completed the projects that remade Rome.
