Urban geography is a branch of human geography concerned with various aspects of cities. An urban geographer’s main role is to emphasize location and space and study the spatial processes that create patterns observed in urban areas. To do this, they study the site, evolution and growth, and classification of villages, towns and cities as well as their location and importance in relation to different regions and cities. Economic, political and social aspects within cities are also important in urban geography. The book would be found highly useful by town planners, municipal administrators, NGOs working in the field of urban development and common readers interested in urban problems and policies. It will be equally valuable for policy makers as well as students, researchers and teachers of urban economics, urban sociology, urban geography and public administration. Contents: Urban Structure . Housing Segregation . Urbanization - An Emerging Humanitarian Disaster . Urban Planning . Urban Relocation . Deurbanization . Industrial Deconcentration.
