Abstract

The Anthropocene stands for a new phase in geology where mankind is the prime agent of change. Drawing on urban history, here is proposed that the Anthropocene started with the invention of the linear perspective and pertaining globalisation in the early modern era, or alternatively, with the unilateral way of human control under emerging industrialism. Either way, the start represents unilateral control. In the first case, mankind took on to subdue nature, in the second case to subdue human minds of the many by human minds of the few.
