Surveys theories on the existence, size, location, and functioning of cities and their metropolitan areas in rich and poor regions of the world. Considers orthodox/conservative treatments as well as critical/left-wing perspectives of planners, geographers, economists, sociologists, and political economists. These theories are indispensable for understanding the origins of cities, the persistence of urban and regional spatial patterns, and the distinctive nature of urban problems.
