Urban Studies

Editor in Chief | Editorial Board | Articles and Contributors

Urban Studies is a broad, interdisciplinary field of study that includes subfields not only in most of the major social sciences, but also in the humanities, and in more technical fields such as architecture, planning, engineering, environmental science, and legal studies. What binds together urbanist scholars in various disciplines is a focus on the lived experiences of larger social systems and structural forces in specific places marked by large, dense, and heterogeneous populations. Though today it is evidently a global process, urbanization has proceeded unevenly, largely following the growth of markets, moving from Europe, to the Americas, and then to Asia and Africa. The academic study of cities has largely followed the same progression. A great deal of this work has moved online with the most recent scholarship, research, and statistics appearing in online databases, complementing long-running journals in the field, monographs, and other research literature. The bibliographic essays within Oxford Bibliographies in Urban Studies are written by known experts in the field, who can provide a guided selection of these pertinent materials, as well as the much needed content for understanding the referenced titles. Of special note are bibliographies not just on topical areas but also on specific cities throughout the world. This resource provides much-needed guidance for students and scholars of urban studies at every level.

 

Explore the Urban Studies discipline with the Oxford Comment's podcast, 'Urban Studies, City Life and COVID-19', featuring Editor-in-Chief Richardson Dilworth and authors Zack Taylor and James Mansell.
