Abstract:
This book on Sociological Study of City mainly focuses on the development of
Urban Sociology from its pioneers to the later radical orders. The influence of
industrialism in urbanization, as illustrated by early pioneers of the subject, it
seems, has been a salient component in various theories that have come along
since. As such each and every theory stemming from different focus points such
as transitional communities, housing classes, class conflicts, space, capital, and
markets are all firmly rooted in industrialism, and capitalism. However, there is
much dissimilarity among the many urban theorists in their approach, owing to
their respective focus points. While the Chicago School attempts to examine the
structure of the urban locale, the radical theorists focus on the many struggles
that originate within. Overall, this book, exploring the theories on city, is
prepared with a view to provide a clear theoretical understanding of the nature
and functions of city. It is hoped that the present book will provide a background
and valuable insights for University Students and Scholars who are pursuing in
Urban Studies, Sociology of City, Urban Policy, and Urban Planning.
