Anyone have any good recommendations of scholarly work on the minutiae of urbanization?

I wrote up a more detailed description of my specific inquiries in this post.

But to summarize, I want any literature that delves into the human-scale, nitty-gritty, of what the process of urbanization (cities starting, developing, expanding, and reproducing) was like in various historical urbanization events.

While I'd appreciate any recs in such a purview, specific periods of interest include Indian (North as well as South) urbanization, pre-contact Americas (both agricultural and non-agricultural based urban development) and the Mediterranean (Italic/Hellenic expansions).

Thanks.
