Urbanization: An Introduction to Urban Geography,Third Edition captures the changes in the nature
and outcomes of urbanization processes for people, as well as the development of new ways of thinking about urban
geography. Unraveling the interlocking processes of urbanization, Knox and McCarthy present a vivid and meaningful
explanation of constantly changing urban geographies and urban life. This framework supports the discussion of
recent changes while addressing much of the "traditional" subject matter of urban geography. The book's
dynamic approach also allows for integration of both theories and facts, where key concepts and theories are presented
in relation to prior events and ideas-providing a coherent and comprehensive introduction to urban geography that
offers a historical and process-oriented approach. With a U.S. focus that also offers global context and comparative
international perspectives, the authors examine urban trends and their outcomes in both developed and less-developed
countries to understand, analyze, and interpret the landscapes, economies, and communities of towns and cities
around the world.
