Product: Urban Geography (Routledge Contemporary Human Geography Series)
This revised fifth edition not only examines the new geographical patterns forming within and between cities, but also investigates the way geographers have sought to make sense of this urban transformation. It is structured into three sections: &apos;contexts&apos;, &apos;themes&apos; and &apos;issues&apos; that move students from a foundation in urban geography through its major themes to contemporary and pressing issues. The text critically synthesizes key literatures in the following areas:


the urban world 


changing approaches to urban geography 


urban form and structure 


economy and the city 


urban politics 


planning, regeneration and urban policy 


cities and culture 


architecture and urban landscapes 


images of the city 


experiencing the city 


housing and residential segregation 


transport and mobility in cities 


sustainability and the city.

This edition builds on the success of the comprehensively revised fourth edition and provides revised chapters on transport/mobility and urban futures, with additional updating of readings and some case studies. The book synthesises a wide range of literature on each subject and presents the material in a lively engaging way, supported by an expanded range of student friendly features, including exercises and suggestions for further study.
