The sixth edition of this influential anthology juxtaposes classic and contemporary writings on urban studies, offering a comprehensive overview of the field. As the anchor volume in the Routledge Urban Reader Series, it has been thoroughly updated to reflect current thinking in areas such as compact cities, urban history, sustainable development, globalization, and the effects of technology on urban environments. This edition emphasizes cities in the developing world and the evolving global city system. It includes sixty selections—forty-four from the previous edition and sixteen new pieces, three of which are exclusive to this volume. Classic writings by renowned authors like Ebenezer Howard, Jane Jacobs, and Louis Wirth are preserved alongside contemporary voices such as Peter Hall, David Harvey, and Saskia Sassen. Newly commissioned works by Yasser Elshestawy, Peter Taylor, and Lawrence Vale are also featured, along with contributions from Aristotle, Edward Glaeser, and others. The anthology is enhanced with general and section introductions, along with individual introductions for each article, providing context and bibliographies for further study. Additionally, it includes fifty revised plates across four sections, enriching the visual experience of the text.
