本專論課程特別挑選幾座重要的歷史城市作為深入探討的主題。基於城市生活的豐富與複雜，城市史的研究尤其需要從跨領域的專業汲取養分。也正是這些多元的觀點將豐富、深化我們對城市議題的理解，藉此累積經驗、開拓眼界與國際觀，培養擘畫城市未來的遠見。

This monograph course specifically selects several important historical cities as topics for in-depth discussion. Based on the richness and complexity of urban life, the study of urban history especially needs to draw nutrients from cross-field majors. It is these diverse perspectives that will enrich and deepen our understanding of urban issues, thereby accumulating experience, broadening our horizons and international perspectives, and cultivating the vision to shape the future of cities.
