A comparative study in urban history, Victorian Cities examines the 19th-century history of four developing cities in England in a period of rapid growth, with chapters on London and Melbourne and references to Los Angeles and Chicago as well.

In 1837 in England and Wales there were only five provincial cities of more than 100 000 inhabitants. By 1891 there were twenty-three. Over the same period London's population more than doubled.
