Summary, etc. Urban geography is essentially a social science, since towns and cities bear the imprint of the planned or unintended consequences of human action to a far greater degree than the much more extensive rural or uninhabited parts of the world that may be studied by the general geographer. Professor Jones's clear and thought-provoking introduction to this subject is therefore <br/>sociological in approach. He surveys the various theories put forward for defining towns and cities, for distinguishing urban <br/>from rural environments, and for classifying cities; he provides an account of the historical process of urbanization and a description of the characteristic features of both pre-industrial and Western cities; and he discusses the problems of the relation <br/>of the city to its region at the present time, and the major social questions that are raised by city life and the urban environment. <br/>Emrys Jones has been Professor of Geography at the London School of Economics and Political Science since 1961. <br/>
