The New Urban Sociology by Mark Gottdiener

The New Urban Sociology by Mark Gottdiener

Organized around an integrated paradigm, the sociospatial perspective, The New Urban Sociology: Fourth Edition is a breakthrough text that considers the impact of social factors such as race, class, gender, lifestyle, economics, culture, and politics on the development of metropolitan areas. Moving beyond the traditional city–suburb dichotomy, The New Urban Sociology fourth edition provides a unique focus on the continuously changing nature of metropolitan regions. It integrates the social ecological with the political economy paradigm through a fresh theoretical approach emphasizing the importance of space to social life and real estate to the economy and urban development. This fully revised edition of The New Urban Sociology features a new chapter on metropolitan social policy and expanded discussions of international regions, key concepts, and the effect of the economic crisis on housing markets, public policy, and urban development.
