Discussions of urban mobility often focus on travel speeds: enabling people to travel significant distances in short periods of time. This focus is mistaken. This history of cities shows that as travel speeds increase, our cities spread out. We end up spending as much time traveling as before, only at faster speeds over longer distances. (People unable to operate, or unable to afford, the faster mode of travel are left behind, able to meet fewer and fewer of their needs close to home.)

Ancient Rome had a population of more than a million by 100 BC. Most of the city's people lived in tenements and had no access to the bulky ovens and hearths needed to bake bread or make porridges and gruels. The poor had little choice but to purchase their food on the street or at the market or bazaar, whereas for the wealthy the staging of a banquet in their own houses was a vehicle for displaying their good fortune and their pretensions.
