The Connected City explores how thinking about networks helps make
sense of modern cities: what they are, how they work, and where
they are headed. Cities and urban life can be examined as networks,
and these urban networks can be examined at many different levels.
The book focuses on three levels of urban networks: micro, meso,
and macro. These levels build upon one another, and require
distinctive analytical approaches that make it possible to consider
different types of questions. At one extreme, micro-urban networks
focus on the networks that exist within cities, like the social
relationships among neighbors that generate a sense of community
and belonging. At the opposite extreme, macro-urban networks focus
on networks between cities, like the web of nonstop airline flights
that make face-to-face business meetings possible. This book
contains three major sections organized by the level of analysis
and scale of network. Throughout these sections, when a new
methodological concept is introduced, a separate 'method note'
provides a brief and accessible introduction to the practical
issues of using networks in research. What makes this book unique
is that it synthesizes the insights and tools of the multiple
scales of urban networks, and integrates the theory and method of
network analysis.
