Description
The current cycle of urban growth dates from the 1970s and is likely to persist into the 2020s. Some of the world's most eminent urban geographers bring their expertise to bear on the American urban scene. They describe how cities have evolved, assess their current characters, and look ahead to the momentous changes yet to come.
Reviews / Votes
A new geography of urban disciplines is taking shape as philosophers rediscover geography, and geographers rediscover politics and philosophy... The editor provides essays with different methods for addressing social, institutional, and individual levels of analysis. APA JournalMore details
