- Summary
- "Representing a major contribution to the field, authors Mark Gottdiener and Ray Hutchinson present their breakthrough text in a new third edition, now completely revised and streamlined to provide students with a solid grounding on the topic. The book is organized around an integrated paradigm - the sociospatial perspective - which considers the role played by social factors such as race, class, gender, lifestyle, economics, culture, and politics on the development of metropolitan areas. New case studies throughout the text represent the most recent work in the field, as well as key terms and discussion questions at the end of each chapter. Additional updates include discussions of globalism, suburbanization, the multicentered region as the new urban form, the new urbanism, and critical perspectives on planning and policy. Cast in a clear, accessible delivery that students will comprehend, The New Urban Sociology, Third Edition is a necessity for all courses on the subject."--Jacket.
