Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book approaches the origin and purpose of cities sociologically, which the author claims has been neglected in previous studies. The author posits that the arrangement of the industrial functions â" production, exchange, distribution, etc. â" within cities reveals fundamental truths about both the unique characteristics of cities and the broader evolution of societies over time. The author argues that the forms of the industrial landscape are not random, but rather are shaped by social forces and geographic factors. He establishes a typology of industrial landscapes in what he terms "elementary," or simple, urban societies and uses this typology to demonstrate how, why, and when industrial landscapes change. He claims that this approach allows the reader to see the common patterns of development of these industrial landscapes across geographic, cultural, and economic boundaries. This book will be of great value to urbanists, economic geographers, sociologists, and anyone interested in the history of cities and the organization of economies.
