Ted Chiang's story "Towers of Babylon" gave me big "Invisible Cities" vibes, in a good way.

I think I have a type. Who else writes stories/books with focus on construction of fantastical cities/environs?

David Bremner

@johns China Mieville? Not quite as highbrow as Eco, but not pulp either.

@johns Also, NK Jemisin in the specific case of the books about NYC (the City we became etc...). But that seems different to me. It's more build a fantastic story around a familiar place.
