The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Urban and Regional Studies
Urban liveability must be understood as an interdisciplinary logic and practice. It can be seen as a perceived notion of well-being and social cohesion among residents of an urban area, produced by the confluence of the material conditions of architecture and urban design, and access to goods and services (broadly speaking social services, property and public infrastructure, health services, environmental, and cultural services, among others) whi…

Jacobs, Jane (1916–2006)
Jane Jacobs was one of the leading urbanists of the twentieth century. Her work has had profound influence over a wide range of scholars, among them urban planners and sociologists as well as economists. Her major writing on cities, The Death and Life of Great American Cities , remains one of the leading texts on cities and urban planning even today
Urbanization
Urbanization refers to the process whereby ever larger numbers of people migrate to and establish residence in relatively dense areas of population. It is a phenomenon that has existed throughout the ages, from ancient times to the present. Large numbers of people have gathered and created urban sites in places such as ancient Rome and Cairo as well as in ancient Beijing in China. Yet, in recent times, the process of urbanization has gained incre…
Religion and Community in the New Urban America, by Paul D. Numrich and Elfriede Wedam.
In the 1990s, Lowell Livezey assembled a small group of scholars in Chicago who were interested in the character of religion in urban America. Housed for a time at the University of Illinois at Chicago and then later at Loyola University, the group set about trying to discover what—if any—impact religious institutions had on the metropolis. They selected Chicago as a site for their research in part because it had such a long history of serving as…

Public Man and Public Space in Shanghai Today
Public space is a topic of great interest for urban scholars and urban planners. Such space, like parks, sidewalks, and plazas, it is argued, can provide the common grounds where the inhabitants of a city meet, exchange ideas, even engage in a variety of cultural performances. This article reports on fieldwork about the use of public space in Shanghai today. We find a great diversity of uses, ranging from vendors who sell their wares to people wh…
Protest and Opportunities: The Political Outcomes of Social Movements – By Felix Kolb Contentious Performances – By Charles Tilly
Jacobs, Jane (1916–2006)
By training Jane Jacobs was not a sociologist. Yet, she penned some of the twentieth century's most compelling and influential sociological accounts about the workings of cities. And her major achievement, The Death and Life of Great American Cities , now stands as a classic

Circles of Influence and Chains of Command: The Social Processes Whereby Ethnic Communities Influence Host Societies
Research into immigration has for many years focused most of its attention on the issue of how immigrants adapt to host societies. This tendency is especially true in the work of sociologists. Yet if we acknowledge the growing ethnic diversity today in the United States and elsewhere, the most interesting questions arise as to how immigrants influence the host society — not how they adapt to it. This paper proposes a sociological theory to accoun…

A Reappraisal of the Social and Political Participation of Negroes
Inspection of the effec of socioeconomic status on the organizational membership of Negroes and whites indicates that the konwn relationship between social class and membership is much less pronounced for Negroes. Lower-class Negroes are more likely to belong to organizations than lower-class whites, while middle-class whites are slighty more likely to belong than middle-class Negroes. Upper-class whites, in turn, are much more likely to be "join…
Sex, Socialization and Politics
Three perspectives are usually used to explain differences in political beliefs and behavior of men and women: political socialization, structural, and situational. This paper examines evidence bearing on one of these theories, political socialization, and finds relatively minor support for it. A variety of alternative explanations flow from these results, the most radical of which would call for abandoning the political socialization perspective…
The Development of Political Orientations among Black and White Children
Recent research suggests that, with socioeconomic differences held constant, black adults are more disaffected and active politically than their white counterparts; yet, this same research neglects to specify the timing and location of these differences. The present study undertakes this task, attempting to discover whether the differences in political orientation between blacks and whites is found among children as well. The results convincingly…

Race, Nation, Class: Ambiguous Identities
Forty years after the defeat of Nazism, and twenty years after the great wave of decolonization, how is it that racism remains a growing phenomenon? What are the special characteristics of contemporary racism? How can it be related to class divisions and to the contradictions of the nation-state? And how far, in turn, does racism today compel us to rethink the relationship between class struggles and nationalism? This book attempts to answer thes…
