The Urban World

Synopsis

Long the leading text in urban sociology, The Urban World continues to provide a comprehensive, balanced, up-to-date, cross-cultural look at cities and suburbs around the world. Offering a 21st century view of the changing urban scene, the text covers evolving urban patterns and the changing nature of urban life. Combining expert scholarship with a readable style that students appreciate, J. John Palen is one of America's leading urban sociologists, who travels the world and adds new insights gleaned firsthand to each succeeding edition of his text. The ninth edition includes a wealth of updates including the 2010 US census data and the impact of the recession on the urban landscape. The rapid developments in Indian and Chinese cities are also covered.
