Abstract
Georg simmel became one of the first sociologists to attempt to analyze 'street life' during the late part of the nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth century. Amongst his papers, he wrote 'The Metropolis and Mental Life' in which he outlined and tries to explain how a cities environment skews its inhabitant's mental state. Living in Berlin for most of his life, he had a first class case study on his doorstep with it being a leading city in the western world. Although this paper may have been written over a hundred years ago, it remains relevant to today's society with the same problems of stress and anxiety still present. However, the ways in which these nuisances manifest themselves has changed considerably alongside people's attitudes and surroundings. To answer the question above, I found it necessary to pinpoint a certain area of 'contemporary existence' to prevent this thesis becoming vague.
