Esta contribución analiza la representación de las ciudades del Imperio Británico en las publicaciones periódicas victorianas, medio de comunicación de masas en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. En ese momento, era habitual en la prensa británica encontrar artículos tratando diferentes aspectos del Imperio. Con estos textos los lectores ampliaron su conocimiento sobre el Imperio, a la vez que se impregnaron de la ideología propia del mismo. Esto se hace especialmente visible en las descripciones de las ciudades y en su funcionamiento como nodos en redes de transporte y comunicación, centros de comercio, sedes del gobierno, instituciones administrativas y educativas, zonas de contacto y también como escenarios para la demonstración del poder imperial. Este artículo presta atención a las ciudades indias de Calcuta (ahora Kolkata), Delhi y Bombay (ahora Mumbai), y en cómo estas estaban vinculadas con la continuidad del dominio británico mediante categorías de tiempo como el progreso, el atraso y la tradición.
