urban sociology

Urban sociology emerged in the nineteenth century in response to the unprecedented degree of population concentration produced by the Industrial Revolution. This subfield of sociology is distinguished within the body of general sociology by its focus on social phenomena that are identified with a particular spatial arena of action, that is, the city.
