This Element offers seven propositions toward a theory of 'Our Urban Planet' that is useful to global urban historians. I argue that historians have much to offer to theorists particularly those involved in debates over planetary urbanization theory and the Anthropocene. We must enlarge our concept of 'urban' to include spaces that make cities possible and that cities make possible and become comfortable with longer temporal frames that nest global urban history within Earth Time. Above all we need to add the crucial dimension of power, redefining cities as spaces that humans produce to amplify harvests of geo-solar energy and deploy human power within space and time. The element uses insights from 'deep history' to set the stage for a 'theory by verb' elaborating the many paradoxes of humans' 6,000-year gamble with the Urban Condition and explaining cities' own intrinsic capacity to outrun their own theorizability.

這個元素提出了七個命題,以建立一個對於「我們的城市星球」的理論,對於全球城市歷史學家來說非常有用。我認為歷史學家在行星城市化理論和人類世的辯論中,對於理論家有很多貢獻。我們必須擴大對「城市」的概念,包括使城市成為可能的空間,以及城市所使可能的空間,並且要對於時間框架有更長的接受度,將全球城市歷史嵌入地球時間之中。最重要的是,我們需要增加權力這個關鍵的維度,重新定義城市為人類為了增強地球太陽能收穫和在空間和時間中運用人力而創造的空間。這個元素利用「深度歷史」的見解,為「動詞理論」鋪墊舞台,闡述人類與城市狀態這個6000年的賭博的許多悖論,並解釋城市本身超越其自身可理解性的內在能力。
