Bookroo's summary
Dive into the unseen world beneath city streets, where a complex network of tunnels, pipes, and cables supports urban life. Discover the intricate systems that keep a metropolis running smoothly, as you journey through an imagined intersection revealing the secrets below. What mysteries lie beneath our feet, waiting to be uncovered?
From the publisher
“A straightforward yet fascinating description of the labyrinth beneath the feet of any city dweller. And what a complex covered world David Macaulay reveals! He invents an intersection of two streets and proceeds to show what we all might find if we dared to descend through that Alice-in-Wonderland manhole.” – New York Times Book Review
