Researching the City: A Guide for Students

Book Overview

This practical guide for students focuses on both the city, and the different ways academics research it.

Essential reading for any student carrying out fieldwork in urban geography, urban studies and urban sociology courses, Researching the City explains how research is done, from the original idea, to design and implementation, through to writing up and representation.

Each of the chapters focuses on a different method from archival to discourse analysis and questionnaires, and includes a number of aids to help students think about the content and how it relates to their own fieldwork, including real-world evidence that is used illustratively and comparatively, as well as key questions and suggestions for further reading.
