'''cosmopolis'''

Editor's note: Most definitions (below) of '''cosmopolis''' refer to what is effectively a large metropolis, and no doubt there are a handful of 'great' cities in this world, but none of them qualifes even remotely as a 'universe city'. Nevertheless, this does not preclude cultivating an appreciation for the history of such a 'place' that is served well by Stephen Toulmin's book, '''''Cosmopolis: The Hidden Agenda of Modernity''''' ISBN 0226808386
