Riassunto:

For undergraduate and graduate courses in urban sociology.

A social psychological perspective informed by political economy encourages sociological understanding of the city and suburb in the past and in the contemporary world.

Experiencing Cities is an introduction to urban sociology based heavily on microsociology and symbolic interaction theory–emphasizing the way people experience the urban world in their everyday lives, interact with one another, and create meaning from the physical and human environments of their cities.
