This essential reference works maps how Urban Studies as a discipline is composed with perspectives from economics and perspectives from sociology.

This Major Work in Urban Studies focuses on the urban and the social. In four volumes it examines:
i) the social meaning of cities and how they are imagined;

ii) social stratification and inequalities;

iii) life and culture of cities; and

iv) social engineering and the idea of the good city

Ronan Paddison is Emeritus Professor of Geography at the University of Glasgow. His research interests focus on the political processes driving urban change and, in particular, under what conditions local participation can contribute to the making of more inclusive and democratic cities. Recent projects have included the role of community participation in the installation of public art, and the limitations to public participation in the post-political city. He is Managing Editor of Urban Studies and of Space and Polity.
