What is Urban Theory? How can it be used to understand our urban
experiences? Experiences typically defined by enormous
inequalities, not just between cities but within cities, in an
increasingly interconnected and globalised world. This book
explains: Relations between urban theory and modernity in key ideas
of the Chicago School, spatial analysis, humanistic urban
geography, and 'radical' approaches like Marxism Cities and the
transition to informational economies, globalization, urban growth
machine and urban regime theory, the city as an "actor" Spatial
expressions of inequality and key ideas like segregation,
ghettoization, suburbanization, gentrification Socio-cultural
spatial expressions of difference and key concepts like gender,
sexuality, race, ethnicity and "culturalist" perspectives on
identity, lifestyle, subculture How cities should be understood as
intersections of horizontal and vertical - of coinciding resources,
positions, locations, influencing how we make and understand urban
experiences. Critical, interdisciplinary and pedagogically informed
- with opening summaries, boxes, questions for discussion and
guided further reading - Urban Theory: A Critical Introduction to
Power, Cities and Urbanism in the 21st Century provides the tools
for any student of the city to understand, even to change, our own
urban experiences.
