The majority of the world's population is now urban, and for most
this will mean a life lived in the suburbs. City Suburbs considers
contemporary Anglo-American suburbia, drawing on research in outer
London it looks at life on the edge of a world city from the
perspective of residents. Interpreted through Bourdieu's theory of
practice it argues that the contemporary suburban life is one where
place and participation are, in combination, strong determinants of
the suburban experience. From this perspective suburbia is better
seen as a process, an on-going practice of the suburban which is
influenced but not determined by the history of suburban
development. How residents engage with the city and the legacy of
particular places combine powerfully to produce very different
experiences across outer London. In some cases suburban residents
are able to combine the benefits of the city and their residential
location to their advantage but in marginal middle-class areas the
relationship with the city is more circumspect as the city
represents more threat than opportunity. The importance of this
relational experience with the city informs a call to integrate
more fully the suburbs into studies of the city.
