Goodreads asked Monica L. Smith:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Monica L. Smith I've been living in cities, and working on archaeological sites, for a long time. Gradually the two things came together -- almost without me realizing it -- and then I recognized how nice it was to work on a topic that I also felt like I embodied in my daily life. So that's how the book Cities: The First 6,000 Years was born.
