Europe is culturally diverse and that is a huge asset to be fostered. European cities as result of local culture therefore also vary a great deal. How can this uniquely European condition be preserved in a global trend towards standardisation, ultimately levelling the variety. EuroPolis races the history of the European urban system, focussing on middle sizes cities and makessuggestions what the EU’s role in supporting its diversity can be.
