When first released much praise was given to this book: "An
outstanding book on urban geography. . . representative of the best
on this subject."--Higher Education Journal "The book ought to be
required reading for every planner and student of planning . . . a
magnificent achievement." --Town and Country Planning. The
Geography of Towns provides a concise but thorough introduction to
the important subject of urban geography. It traces the development
of urban areas from the earliest sites of Nineveh, Aleppo, and
Agade to modern megalopolises and strip cities, and deals
authoritatively with problems of classification and ranking,
location and type, origins, and course of development, and the
relationship of the city to its region and nation. All facets of
urban geography are covered, including the core, integuments,
population structure, land-use patterns, enclaves, and town
structure. Population mobility and the continual crisscross
circulation of populations within and between town and region are
seen as important forces affecting the internal geography of towns.
The author questions the usefulness or validity of such terms as
"neighborhood" and stresses the need for more meaningful
conceptualizations and vocabulary. One of the fundamental problems
connected with urban geography is to assist in the planning of
future cities. This book contributes substantially to an
understanding of the interrelations of town and region and to an
understanding of the components of the city itself which are
essential to intelligent planning for the future.
