Richard T. LeGates Books

This third edition juxtaposes the very best publications on the city. It reflects the latest thinking on globalization, information technology and urban theory. It is a comprehensive mapping of the terrain of urban studies: old and new.

"The City Reader" brings together the very best on the city. Fifty generous selections are included. Each piece is separately introduced with a brief intellectual biography and a review of the author's writings and related literature, and an explanation of how the piece fits into the broader context of urban theory and practice, competing ideological perspectives on the city, and the major current debates concerning race and gender, global restructuring, the impact of technology, and postmodernism.
