Urban Geography by Tim Hall, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

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: 'contexts', 'themes' and 'issues' 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 worldchanging approaches to urban geographyurban form and structureeconomy and the cityurban politicsplanning, regeneration and urban policycities and culturearchitecture and urban landscapesimages of the cityexperiencing the cityhousing and residential segregationtransport and mobility in citiessustainability and the city.
