CityLife

A bioarchaeological study of 1,800 years of resilience and adaptation to urbanity

Today, more than half of humanity lives in cities. Yet for most of history, urban life was considered anything but healthy. How humans adapted and developed resilience to the disadvantages of urban life?

The ERC-funded project, CityLife, explores urbanization by integrating evidence from archaeology, history, and human skeletal remains, to reveal how generations of people overcame the challenges of city life and shaped the future of urban living.

An articulated approach to urbanization

CityLife takes an anthropocentric view on urbanization, shifting the focus from elite competition, and spotlighting the actual people.

  • Data Driven – cras volutpat odio ac sapien faucibus auctor

  • Results Orientated – Sed consequat odio quis dictum

  • Research Led – Nam ac pharetra nibh. Nullam eu magna sit

CityLife examines the biocultural aspects of urban development to reconstruct how populations, as modular parts of urban systems, have charted the long-term course toward urbanization.
