Description
Cities Reimagining the Urban by Ash Amin and Nigel Thrift A fresh perspective on the city challenges traditional notions of urban life. The authors argue that contemporary urban theory is often based on nostalgia for a more human, face-to-face city, but instead propose an innovative sociology of the city that considers the complex relationships between urban and non-urban areas. This concise book explores the implications of this viewpoint through chapters on power, economy, and democracy, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars in sociology, geography, urban studies, cultural studies, and politics.
