Vom Raum aus die Stadt denken

The spatial-sociological perspective on cities provides the possibility to understand social injustice by seeing social structures that materialize, to regard cities in their cross-linking and simultaneousness and to build a bridge between sociology and architecture and planning. Against the backdrop of international and interdisciplinary debates about space, Martina Löw brings research about the inherent logics of cities together with analyses based on spatial sociology in a way that shows that cities structure social life via space. This combination of published central essays is extended by basic texts about an urban sociology based on spatial theory.
