Disco fits into a long history of culture that takes off in cities.

Wherever there is a large concentration of people living in the same

place, art, music, and other creative works follow. And while disco
itself has evolved over the past 50 years, those truths have not. Cities
are still shaping culture today, often at a much faster pace. That’s
why the history of disco is rich with modern lessons—about how a
movement is born, thrives, and dies as a result of economic, social,
and technological changes.
