The last two decades have been an exciting and richly productive period for debate and academic research on the city.
The SAGE Handbook of New Urban Studies offers comprehensive coverage of this modern re-thinking of urban theory, both gathering together the best of what has been achieved so far, and signalling the way to future theoretical insights and empirically grounded research.
Featuring many of the top international names in the field, the handbook is divided into nine key sections:
- SECTION 1: THE GLOBALIZED CITY
- SECTION 2: URBAN ENTREPRENEURIALISM, BRANDING, GOVERNANCE
- SECTION 3: MARGINALITY, RISK AND RESILIENCE
- SECTION 4: SUBURBS AND SUBURBANIZATION: STRATIFICATION, SPRAWL, SUSTAINABILITY
- SECTION 5: DISTINCTIVE AND VISIBLE CITIES
- SECTION 6: CREATIVE CITIES
- SECTION 7: URBANIZATION, URBANITY AND URBAN LIFESTYLES
- SECTION 8: NEW DIRECTIONS IN URBAN THEORY
- SECTION 9: URBAN FUTURES
This is a central resource for researchers and students of Sociology, Cultural Geography, and Urban Studies.
Contributing to new debates and research on the city, this handbook looks both backwards and forwards to bring together key scholarship in the field
Recenzijas
Urban studies is currently in a state of high flux marked by many different and competing claims. This book is an extraordinarily successful and comprehensive attempt to map out the complex conceptual terrain of urban theory today and to clarify the multiple and conflicting terms of debate. -- Allen J. Scott The Sage Handbook of New Urban Studies is an essential primer for all students of urban studies. In the fast-moving field of both city growth and change, as well as the theoretical interpretations of it, this comprehensive collection provides a lively survey and a vital health check. -- Andy C. Pratt This is a follow-up to the 2001 Handbook of Urban Studies, and shows the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of scholarship that falls under the urban studies label. The editors explain in the introduction that they deliberately avoided a linear approach to editing this collection. So the original papers collected here are about anything and everything related to urban studies, including different theories, topics, and of course places. The chapters in this handbook take readers through all of the current issues in thinking about the city. From this overview, the literature appears to be increasingly decentralized and increasingly interested in low and middle-income nations. -- Christine Ro

John Hannigan is Professor of Sociology and Associate Chair, Graduate Studies (Sociology) at the University of Toronto, where he teaches courses in cultural policy, urban political economy and environmental sociology. He has written four books: Environmental Sociology (1995, 2006, 2014), Fantasy City: Pleasure and Profit in the Postmodern City (1998), Disasters Without Borders: The International Politics of Natural Disasters (2012), and The Geopolitics of Deep Oceans (2015). Fantasy City was nominated for the 19992000 John Porter Award of the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association. Environmental Sociology has been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese. In his most recent book, The Geopolitics of Deep Oceans, Dr. Hannigan argues that our understanding of the deep depends on whether we see it primarily as a resource cornucopia, a global political chessboard, a shared commons, or a unique and threatened ecology. He is currently co-editing the SAGE Handbook of New Urban Studies (with Greg Richards) due to be published in 2017.
Greg Richards is Professor of Placemaking and Events at NHTV Breda and Professor of Leisure Studies at Tilburg University. In recent years his research has focussed on what attracts people to cities and how they help to make urban places. He has worked extensively on tourism and the cultural and creative industries in cities such as Barcelona (ES), London, Newcastle, Manchester and Edinburgh (UK) Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Den Bosch (NL), Sibiu (RO), Amman (Jordan) and Macau (China). His recent publications include Eventful Cities and Reinventing the Local in Tourism: Producing, Consuming and Negotiating Place.
