Today, for the first time in the history of humankind, urban
dwellers outnumber rural residents. Urban places, towns and cities
are of fundamental importance for the distribution of population
within countries; in the organization of economic production,
distribution and exchange; in the structuring of social
reproduction and cultural life; and in the allocation of power.
The second edition of "Urban Geography" continues to provide an
authoritative and stimulating global introduction to the study of
towns and cities. The text synthesizes a wealth of material to
provide unrivalled depth and breadth for students of urban
geography, drawing on a rich blend of theoretical and empirical
information with which to advance the knowledge of the city. The
new edition has been extensively revised to reflect feedback from
users and to incorporate the latest research and developments in
the field.
The text is divided into six main parts that explain and discuss:
* The field of urban geography and the importance of a global
perspective
* The historical growth of cities from the earliest times and the
urban geography of the major world regions
* The dynamics of urban structure and land-use change in Western
cities
* Economy, society and politics in the Western City
* The economic, social, political and environmental challenge faced
by the third world city
* An overview of the future of cities, and cities of the future
"Urban Geography" is superbly illustrated with more than 150 line
drawings, over 50 photographs and a color plate section. There are
also over 180 case-study and explanatory boxes, drawing insights
from across the globe. The text also contains a glossary ofkey
terms and words, chapter summaries, key points, study questions and
annotated further reading.
