DESCRIPTION
The present volume provides a comprehensive introduction to urban sociology, urban anthropology, and urban studies. While fundamentally sociological, this book uses a multi disciplinary approach to explore all facts of urban living. It provides a balanced framework for the study of the field by evaluating and integrating both ecological and political economic perspective and examining the experiential aspect of political economic life in the city.
