Urban Problems in Sociological Perspective - Softcover
This highly regarded book reflects the latest thinking on the issues and trends that have emerged in contemporary urban America and gives readers an authoritative overview of U.S. urban history and the central theoretical issues in urban sociology. Against this backdrop Urban Problems in Sociological Perspective explores contemporary urban problems at home and abroad and the various policies that have been advanced to address those problems. Throughout, the authors incorporate current material on such topics as the changing locus of U.S. regional growth and decline, intensifying poverty, changes in the welfare system, the collapse of "state socialism" in Eastern Europe, increasing urbanization of the Third World, and changing conditions in the global economy.
