The fifth edition of this text presents a balanced review of the
ecological arguments that the urban arena produces unique
experiential and urban-based cultural effects while exploring the
broader political and economic contexts that produce and modify the
urban environment. In addition to examining the urban dimensions of
such topics as community formation and continuity, minority and
majority dynamics, ethnic experience, poverty, power, and crime, it
provides an analysis of the spatial distribution of population and
resources with regard to the metropolitanization of the urban form,
and the interaction between urban concentration and development and
underdevelopment. From a first chapter that begins with a
discussion of some of the more micrological features of the urban
experience, the text focuses on the significance of the more
macrological cultural, social organizational, and political
dimensions of urban change, in an historical span that includes the
first cities and concludes with an exploration of the implications
of cyberspace, transnationalism, and global terrorism for the
future of urban sociology. While the work focuses primarily on the
North American case, its analytical and integrated discussion makes
it applicable to urban societies in general.
