Recenzii
[This book] is the best real-world interdisciplinary book out there [on the topic]. [It offers] strong theoretical and applied coverage of: (1) expected effects of climate change to urban areas, (2) how wealth inequality is generated by urban areas and solutions to mitigate [this], (3) housing affordability in the urban areas that individuals want to live in, (4) transportation/mobility upheavals and how the city deals with them, [and] (5) public safety and K-12 education concerns that keep people out of cities.
This book is a good fit for students majoring in political science, urban studies, or public policy. The distinct advantage of this book is that it is comprehensive and covers a lot of urban issues using simple tools.
The revised text is organized appropriately by historical development and role of the metropolitan dynamics. Then, the authors creatively integrate topical issues of cities and suburbs. This is a real strength because it helps frame policy problems and policy solutions. [In addition] the text reflects current debates in the literature on the factors shaping uneven development and inequality in cities and suburbs. These are central areas of scholarly inquiry, and the authors appropriately engage these debates and apply them to current patterns.
This second edition of The Urban Experience is a revised, expanded and updated version of a textbook introducing readers to some of the major ways of understanding the policy dynamics of metropolitan areas, those located in the United States in particular...The book clearly targets advanced undergraduates with a general social-scientific background.
