Description
Addresses the specific theories, key studies and important figures that have influenced not just the individual discipline but also the field of urban studies more generally.
"In this urban age there is clearly a need for such major works as Ray Hutchison′s excellent two-volume Encyclopedia of Urban Studies.... This encyclopedia is a testament to the intellectual breadth of urban studies as a field, as well as to its significance and global scope. Scholars from around the world have contributed to what is an invaluable research tool for anyone studying aspects of both urbanization (the growth of cities) and urbanism (city life)."
"...The entries in this comprehensive work span the disciplines of economics, sociology, anthropology, urban planning, urban design and architecture, geography, and political science.... This is a forward-thinking reference work, focusing on topics relevant to the 21st-century metropolis.... Recommended. Lower-level undergraduate through faculty/ researchers; general readers."
