The revised and updated second edition of Introduction to Cities
explores why cities are such a vital part of the human experience
and how they shape our everyday lives. Written in engaging and
accessible terms, Introduction to Cities examines the study of
cities through two central concepts: that cities are places, where
people live, form communities, and establish their own identities,
and that they are spaces, such as the inner city and the suburb,
that offer a way to configure and shape the material world and
natural environment. Introduction to Cities covers the theory of
cities from an historical perspective right through to the most
recent theoretical developments. The authors offer a balanced
account of life in cities and explore both positive and negative
themes. In addition, the text takes a global approach, with
examples ranging from Berlin and Chicago to Shanghai and Mumbai.
The book is extensively illustrated with updated maps, charts,
tables, and photographs. This new edition also includes a new
section on urban planning as well as new chapters on cities as
contested spaces, exploring power and politics in an urban context.
It contains; information on the status of poor and marginalized
groups and the impact of neoliberal policies; material on gender
and sexuality; and presents a greater range of geographies with
more attention to European, Latin American, and African cities.
Revised and updated, Introduction to Cities provides a complete
introduction to the history, evolution, and future of our modern
cities.
