Changing Suburbs

Foundation, Form and Function

Herausgegeben: Harris, Richard; Larkham, Peter

Beschreibung

The editors and contributors to this volume demonstrate how suburbs and the meaning of suburbanism change both with time and geographical location.
Here the disciplines of history, geography and sociology, together with subdisciplines as diverse as gender studies, art history and urban morphology, are brought together to reveal the nature of suburbia from the nineteenth century to the present day.

Rezensionen

'..at the forefront of the contemporary suburban scholarship.' 'an impressive book that clearly conveys the diversity of suburban experiences over space and time' 'an enjoyable read...well laid out and clearly written.' - Environment and Planning, Vol27, June 2000.
