When we went from the 20th to the 21st century a couple of decades ago, my friends and I put together our own little group challenge as to what were "the city", "the person" and "the country" of the 20th century.
We exchanged emails back and forth for several weeks, sort of like how they sometimes invite guests on the radio to bring a favourite book and then ask them to discuss and defend their choices.
Anyway, my choice for "city" of the 20th century was Berlin.
