Description

Urbanization: An Introduction to Urban Geography third edition captures the changes in the nature and outcomes of urbanisation processes for people, as well as the development of new ways of thinking about urban geography.

Unravelling the interlocking processes of urbanisation, Knox and McCarthy present a vivid and meaningful explanation of constantly changing urban geographies and urban life. This framework supports the discussion of recent changes while addressing much of the ‘traditional’ subject matter of urban geography. The book’s dynamic approach also allows for integration of theory and fact, where key concepts and theories are presented in relation to prior events and ideas, providing a coherent and comprehensive introduction to urban geography that is an historical and process-oriented approach.

With a US focus that also offers global context and comparative international perspectives, the authors examine urban trends and their outcomes in both developed and less-developed countries to understand, analyse and interpret the landscapes, economies and communities of towns and cities around the world.
