Synopsis

Merrifield (geography, Clark U., Massachusetts) portrays the experience of urbanism as political as much as psychological and social. He explores how big cities create and are created by particular kinds of people, interpersonal and social relationships, cultures and sensibilities, and rituals and practices.
