The City Dwellers is also known as Twilight of the City.

Science Fiction-in the 21st century, when urbanising is reaching it's limits, the population suddenly slumps-the city is killing man-strangling and crushing humanity as effectively as the jungle destroyed the civilisations of the past.

The civics dare not venture beyond the city limits which will survive?
