An internationally orientated encyclopedia intended to provide comprehensive coverage of topics currently studied in urban studies. It adresses both the growth and expansion of urban areas (urbanization) as well as the nature and quality of urban life (urbanism) (2010).
Specific attention is paid to the study of urban areas (such as urban anthropology, urban economics, urban geography, urban politics, urban psychology, and urban sociology), to professional fields such as architecture and urban planning, and to other fields such as art, literature, and photography that are situated within the built environment.
References for further reading on each topic are provided.
