Description
Provides a critical yet balanced introduction to the social and spatial patterns, and processes of the Western City. It draws from a wide range of ideas and approaches, including human ecology, social networks, communities and neighbourhoods, residential mobility and the study of deviant behaviour. This edition has been updated and restructured to emphasise the socio-spatial dialectic and the socio-cultural dimensions of urban life - reflecting recent shifts in urban geography that have in turn responded to important changes in the social geography of metropolitan areas.
