This reader traces the development of urban/community studies from the early days of the Chicago School of Human Ecology, through the "good old days" of ethnographies that made "Best Sellers" lists, right up to the most recent of writings about the cities and their communities. It emphasizes what is most modern, while still covering the history and sociology of urban studies-with all the hidden paradigms and evolution of ideas important to a comprehensive study of the subject. For public administration positions related to urban planning and housing.
