A theoretical and empirical introduction to urban sociology. In clear terms, the book surveys and critiques all the major theoretical perspectives in urban studies. It examines the meanings of place and space, and applies these concepts to contemporary cities, communities and neighbourhoods.

Explores how public space can be a facilitator of civil order, a site for power and resistance, and a stage for art, theatre, and performance. This title offers questions to provoke discussion, and concludes with thoughts on how these models can be combined by future scholars of public space to yield understanding of how public space works.
