Cities, Change, and Conflict was one of the first texts to embrace
the perspective of political economy as its main explanatory
framework, and then complement it with the rich contributions found
in the human ecology perspective. Although its primary focus is on
North American cities, the book contains several chapters on cities
in other parts of the world, including Europe and developing
nations, providing both historical and contemporary accounts on the
impact of globalization on urban development. This edition features
new coverage of important recent developments affecting urban life,
including the implications of racial conflict in Ferguson, Missouri
, and elsewhere, recent presidential urban strategies, the new
waves of European refugees, the long-term impacts of the Great
Recession as seen through the lens of Detroit's bankruptcy, new and
emerging inequalities, and an extended look into Sampson's Great
American City. Beyond examining the dynamics that shape the form
and functionality of cities, the text surveys the experience of
urban life among different social groups, including immigrants,
African Americans,women, and members of different social classes.
It illuminates the workings of the urban economy, local and federal
governments, and the criminal justice system, and also addresses
policy debates and decisions that affect almost every aspect of
urbanization and urban life.
