- Synopsis
- Drawing together the work of historians, sociologists, social psychologists, geographers, urban ecologists, anthropologists, political economists, architects, and city planners, this text addresses four key themes: cities and urban life vary according to time and place; cities reflect and intensify society and culture; cities reveal the best and the worst about the human condition; and cities offer the promise (but not always the reality) of a better life. Six case studies offer a broad historical look at major cities in various regions of the world. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc. , Portland, Or.
