Description: Whether you are an urban geographer, an urban sociologist or an urban political scientist, and whether you take a qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods approach, the challenge that confronts researchers of our increasingly 'globalized' urban studies remains fundamentally the same-how to make sense of urban complexity. This book confronts this challenge by exploring the various methodological approaches for doing global urban research, including comparative urbanism, social network analysis, and data visualization.
