In this, the third and final installment of our "Enclosed Spaces in sFF" series, we tackle the city. The city on our planet, the city on other planets, the city in worlds of strange makings. Cities have long been a construct familiar to the reader of science fiction as well as the reader of fantasy, just as they have been familiar to the authors who put them to many diverse purposes.

Here, we discuss the city in such texts as "Lord of the Rings," Nnedi Okorafor's "Akata" series, in "City of Stairs," "Harry Potter," "Crossroads of Canopy," the works of China Mieville and Adrian Tchaikovsky, Kim Stanley Robinson and Omar El Akkad, NIcola Griffith and Patrick Rothfuss, Chris Beckett and Octavia Butler ... among many, many others.
