About the Book

For courses in Urban Sociology, Community Sociology, Urban Geography, Urban Anthropology, and Urban Planning. This reader traces the development of urban/community studies from the early days of the Chicago School of Human Ecology, up to the most recent of writings about the cities and their communities. It emphasizes what is most modern—popular with students—while still covering the history and sociology of urban studies.
