This book offers a coherant theoretical introduction to urban
sociology. Based on the urban theory of Louis Wirth, it
systematically examines Wirth's principal ideas in the contexts of
pre-industrial cities, industrial cities and bureaucracies. Morris
discusses conditions for the emergence of cities and for
industrialization. He relates organisational and ecological
accounts of the city and considers the contributions of each.
Bureaucracy appears as a peculiarly urban form of organisation: its
ecological and social characteristics are examined in an original
manner and with considerable insight so as to illustrate and modify
the propositions derived from Wirth's theory. The book concludes
with a comprehensive evaluation of Wirth and his critics. This book
was first published in 1968.
