商品簡介
This introduction to urban theory assumes no prior knowledge. While the book presents the history and evolution of the field, it also provides material that prepares students to evaluate and critique interpretations of the contemporary urban world. Coverage encompasses the role of theory in urban studies, urban theories under conditions of modernity, urban decline and urban economic renaissance, urban political economy, and spatial expressions of intra-urban inequalities. Pedagogical features include learning objectives, discussion questions, b&w photos, and briefly annotated further reading. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
