In the process, she considers how the different ways of harnessing water for the city have corresponded to different epochs in modern Western history.
Typically, cities and nature are perceived as geographic opposites, cities being manufactured social creations, and nature being outside of human construction. Through a historical geography of water in the modern city, Kaika shows that this is not the case.

While her empirical focus is on Athens, she discusses other major cities in the West, including London and New York.
