Description

Cities across the world are changing rapidly, influenced by the forces of economic and cultural globalisation and by the pressures for environmental, economic and social sustainability.

City economies, landscapes, images, environments and social geographies are changing as a result of these forces.

Urban Geography examines the new geographical patterns that are forming within cities and the ways in which geographers have sought to make sense of this urban transformation.

Introducing both traditional and contemporary approaches and perspectives in urban geography, this book examines the globalisation of the urbanisation process and explores ways in which governments and institutions have responded to the resulting challenges.

This substantially revised second edition of Urban Geography includes updates on recent urban policy initiatives and urban changes, including the influence of CCTV on the city and the impacts of Millennium projects.

New sections include an evaluation of the impact of place promotion and a discussion of new cultural geography and the city.

Chapter 9 has been entirely replaced with a new chapter on Sustainable Urban Development. This is a valuable introduction to the subject for all students studying urban geography.
