Description: City provides an accessible yet critical introduction to one of the key ideas in human geography. While most of the world's population now lives in cities the definition and theoretical specification of the city nonetheless remains elusive. In this extensively updated second edition Phil Hubbard considers the different ways that the lived and messy realities of urban life have been approached by geographers past and present. Situating these in the context of ongoing debates concerning globalization urban fragmentation and planetary urbanism this new edition considers how contemporary understandings of cities are being enriched via engagement with feminist queer and post - colonial perspectives. Drawing on a diverse range of literature and case studies from around the world and featuring boxed explorations of key concepts City is an essential guide to urban geography for the experienced researcher and novice alike.
