Book Synopsis Being Urban by : David A. Karp

Download or read book Being Urban written by David A. Karp and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991-06-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the dynamic interplay between what theoretical perceptions tell us about urban life and how ordinary people interpret and respond to the actual experience of living in cities. Major focuses are the primacy of social interaction for an understanding of urban life, and the strategies people use to create "community" in environments which, many theorists believe, promote only alienation and social disintegration. This new edition incorporates a strongly interdisciplinary perspective and includes new chapters on significant topics that have received little critical attention in the field.
