Opis

Urban studies engages a range of approaches in the analysis of the processes at work. These approaches derive from anthropology, economics, geography, history, politics and sociology as well as from the professional experience of town planning and architecture. First published in 1983, this book reflects this cross-disciplinary engagement.
