Accanto al fenomeno che vede milioni e milioni di persone spostarsi ogni giorno nelle grandi città per lavoro, The endless city è uno studio parallelo sullo sviluppo e la crescita di sei grandi città internazionali (New York, Shanghai, Londra, Mexico City, Johannesburg e Berlino) analizzate da un punto di vista strutturale, economico e sociale. Ognuna è studiata individualmente in ciascun capitolo, mentre in quello conclusivo le sei città sono esaminate e messe a confronto l'una con le altre.
