Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Civics: As Applied Sociology," Sir Patrick Geddes examines the idea of civics as a practical application of sociological principles to urban planning and the organization of society. The book reflects Geddes's belief that understanding human behavior and social relationships is essential to creating well-functioning communities and cities. Geddes introduces the concept of "civics" as a field that goes beyond mere governance and public administration. He argues that civics should encompass a broader understanding of how people interact with their environment, how communities form, and how cities can be designed to enhance the well-being of their inhabitants. The book delves into topics such as city planning, social organization, and the impact of the physical environment on human behavior. Geddes advocates for a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to urban planning, taking into account not only physical infrastructure but also the social, cultural, and ecological aspects of urban life. Geddes's ideas in "Civics: As Applied Sociology" were influential in the early development of urban planning as a field of study and practice. He emphasized the importance of understanding the social fabric of communities and the need to incorporate sociological insights into the design and development of cities. This book is a significant contribution to the fields of sociology and urban planning, highlighting the importance of considering the human element in the design and organization of urban spaces. Geddes's ideas continue to influence urban planning and the study of cities to this day.

Download or read book Patrick Geddes and Town Planning written by Noah Hysler-Rubin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Geddes is considered a forefather of the modern urban planning movement. This book studies the various, and even opposing ways, in which Geddes has been interpreted up to this day, providing a new reading of his life, writing and plans. Geddes' scrutiny is presented as a case study for Town Planning as a whole. Tying together for the first time key concepts in cultural geography and colonial urbanism, the book proposes a more vigorous historiography, exposing hidden narratives and past agendas still dominating the disciplinary discourse. Written by a cultural geographer and a town planner, this book offers a rounded, full-length analysis of Geddes' vision and its material manifestation, functioning also as a much needed critical tool to evaluate Modern Town Planning as an academic and practical discipline. The book also includes a long overdue model of his urban theory.

This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores Patrick Geddes’ significant contributions to urban planning and sociology. His vision of the city, rooted in the principles of social development and preservation of cultural and ecological resources, has inspired generations of urban planners, architects and social scientists engaged with contemporary urban issues. The book discusses Geddes’ early experiments with urban renewal in Edinburgh, the famous Cities and Town Planning Exhibition and his work in India for the improvement of cities and towns with minimal financial and human cost. It examines the theoretical underpinnings of his ideas in relation to issues such as better housing and health; the preservation of history and culture; the role of a citizen; university and urban renewal; and the contemporary urban ecological crisis among others. Furthermore, it looks at the question of sustainability in the context of Geddes’ vision of a more humane, social, natural and aesthetic town and city. A comprehensive review of Patrick Geddes’ ideas, this book underlines the relevance of his work to contemporary urban concerns and issues, especially in India. It will be of interest to scholars and researchers of sociology, urban studies, city planning, urban sociology, architecture, human geography, urban geography, settlement studies, development studies and environmental sustainability.

Download or read book Urban Sociology and Urbanized Society written by J.R. Mellor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on urban sociology as practised in Britain, the author argues that it is a key element in the response of the 'intellectual proletariat' to urbanization and the calls on it by the State to control the ensuing way of life. The themes of urban sociology have been the concerns of the Welfare State and, despite radical inputs, the discipline has remained tied up with the assumptions and methodological precepts of liberalism. The author's contention is that urbanization should be analysed in the framework of the political economy of regional development. This book was first published in 1977.
