The seventh edition of the highly successful The City Reader
juxtaposes the very best classic and contemporary writings on the
city. Sixty-three selections are included: forty-five from the
sixth edition and eighteen new selections, including three newly
written exclusively for The City Reader. The anthology features a
Prologue essay on "How to Study Cities", eight part introductions
as well as individual introductions to each of the selected
articles. The new edition has been extensively updated and expanded
to reflect the latest thinking in each of the disciplinary and
topical areas included, such as sustainable urban development,
globalization, the impact of technology on cities, resilient
cities, and urban theory. The seventh edition places greater
emphasis on cities in the developing world, the global city system,
and the future of cities in the digital transformation age. While
retaining classic writings from authors such as Lewis Mumford, Jane
Jacobs, and Louis Wirth, this edition also includes the best
contemporary writings of, among others, Peter Hall, Manuel
Castells, and Saskia Sassen. New material has been added on compact
cities, urban history, placemaking, climate change, the world city
network, smart cities, the new social exclusion, ordinary cities,
gentrification, gender perspectives, regime theory, comparative
urbanization, and the impact of technology on cities. Bibliographic
material has been completely updated and strengthened so that the
seventh edition can serve as a reference volume orienting faculty
and students to the most important writings of all the key topics
in urban studies and planning. The City Reader provides the
comprehensive mapping of the terrain of Urban Studies, old and new.
It is essential reading for anyone interested in studying cities
and city life.
