Introduction to cities (Second edition.)

Explores why cities are such a vital part of the human experience and how they shape our everyday lives.

Written in engaging and accessible terms, 'Introduction to Cities' examines the study of cities through two central concepts: that cities are places, where people live, form communities, and establish their own identities, and that they are spaces, such as the inner city and the suburb, that offer a way to configure and shape the material world and natural environment.
