دانلود کتاب Cities in Transformation: Class, Capital, and the State (Urban Affairs Annual Reviews)

The aim of this volume is to link the study of 'the urban question' to new developments in general social theory.Urban studies, as an interdisciplinary science, must take account of political science, history, sociology, economics, planning, and policy analysis in order to broaden its application. To do this the authors advance the debate on the scope and limit of individual and local action within the structure of advanced urban concentration. They explore the analytical advantages and disadvantages of focusing on the system-level dynamics of economic, political, and social structures.The connections between new structural patterns of domination and inequality, social consciousness, and the social movements that may emerge from everyday politics provide a link between scholars operating in the Marxian and Weberian traditions.`Overall, the book is a valuable collection of stimulating, essentially academic papers.' -- Community Development Journal, Vol 20 No 4, 1985
