This 11th edition has been thoroughly updated while retaining the popular structure of past editions. Key updates include: * Individual chapters introducing students to pressing urban issues such as race and racism, gentrification, sustainability and the environment, urban crises, shrinking cities, immigration, and suburbanization, political polarization, and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on cities * The most recent census data integrated throughout to provide current figures for analysis, discussion, and a more nuanced understanding of current trends. * The effects of the events of 2020 on cities - namely the Coronavirus pandemic; the murder of George Floyd and its aftermath, and the growth of the Black Lives Matter Movement; and the U.S. presidential election in November * The new and present challenges of the climate crisis, and its growing significance for cities.
