"Okay" according to Young Investor. I had used this book with a course I had taken in college. It is very interesting if you are unfamilair with urban problems. If you are slightly familiar(by living in the city) it is still informative if you have a good teacher.. Kien Ming Yow said Amazing Insights to Urban Life. Took this book due to requirements of a course but found myself very engrossed to finish the book beyond course requirements. Author presents very diverse issues and perspectives to issues in urban life. There is a lot of appreciation to the cityscape in political and economic terms. It just makes you feel like these are things you see everyday in a city but fail to see why before this book. It's like peerin. kevinwang00 said Five Stars. pretty good

Through the use of case studies, the presentation remains accessible and down-to-earth.. This text discusses the importance of cities for the economic, cultural, and political life of modern societies. The author consistently uses the political economy perspective to introduce students to the basic concepts and research in urban sociology, while also acknowledging the contributions of the human ecology perspective
