Abstract: I seek in this book to reconsider the foundations of urban theory and to propose a robust concept of the city. These aims revolve around two interrelated tasks. The first is to explain the persistent tendency for durable but diverse clusters of human activity to form on the landscape. The second is to show how this primary urge sets in motion powerful space-sorting crosscurrents that shape and reshape the city as a nexus of interrelated social and economic undertakings. This general argument is filled out in empirical terms by reference to the historical and geographical character of urbanization in the era of capitalism.
