The rapidly changing structure of urban social and economic
activity in recent years has given rise to a great deal of concern
regarding the fate of that area of the city where economic activity
is chiefly concentrated: the central business district (CBD). This
book, a geographic study of the changing nature of CBDs, represents
a concise, well-ordered, and readable attempt to deal with that
concern. Written by a widely known authority on the subject, it
provides a comprehensive summary and analysis of much of the
research done on CBDs over the past two decades and establishes
many striking generalizations regarding the past, present and
future evolutions of CBDs, both in this country and abroad. Using
maps and diagrams where helpful, Murphy, a pioneer researcher in
this field from the standpoint of economic geography, provides the
record of his own and others' attempts to define CBDs and to
develop theories about them. He not only presents the story of the
research attack on the CBDs of a number of cities, including
estimates of their probable future, but also details a practicable
technique for delimiting and studying CBDs. An important feature of
the book is the attention Murphy devotes to the valuable work done
in this field outside America, and his examples, which fully cover
the American experience, are by no means confined to it, taking in
important urban centres throughout the world. This book, intended
for anyone interested in the urban scene, will be particularly
helpful to students and teachers of urban geography and to
practicing urban planners.
