Features: This book focuses on the two major elements of the human body and the city, examines the evolution of human civilization, establishes a framework for reconstructing the history of human civilization; and attempts to explain how culture has played an important role in creating and utilizing urban space. However, the current urban concept is causing a lack of culture and numbness of people's souls. Only by returning to the body and returning to sensation can humanity recover what has been marginalized by modern urban civilization.
