The book explores both ancient cities that have submerged and modern cities at risk of sinking. The authors examine various hypotheses explaining the demise of ancient cities in the Mediterranean, Black Sea, and Caspian regions. They also analyze natural and anthropogenic factors—such as land subsidence, flooding, and rising groundwater levels—that threaten contemporary urban areas. The book highlights engineering solutions implemented to protect cities from water-related threats, including measures taken in Venice, the Netherlands, and Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg)
