The city has been a central theme in sociology since the inception of the discipline. More recently, 'urban studies' has emerged as an area of interdisciplinary investigation across sociology, political science, social geography and political economy.  In this subject you will examine major perspectives in the analysis of urban life from early classics — Weber, Simmel and the Chicago School — to key contemporary debates. Questions discussed include: What is the city and what is its relationship to the rural? How have cities contributed to democracy and to the market economy? How do cities reflect and generate wider social transformations?  You will examine urban social divisions, gentrification, urban crime, urban social movements and urban governance.
