This important book provides a comprehensive mapping of the terrain of Urban Studies, both old and new. It is illustrated with over forty photographs, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the city.

The third edition of the highly successful The City Reader juxtaposes the very best of publications on the city. It has been extensively updated to reflect the latest thinking on globalization, information technology and urban theory. Classic writings from such authors as Lewis Mumford, Jane Jacobs and Le Corbusier, meet the best contemporary writings of Peter Hall, Saskia Sassen and Manuel Castells among others.
