This text, the first of its kind, is a collection of classic articles in the field of urban sociology. The book also draws from current research on various types of urban problems. Readers will find that The Urban Landscape stands out from other works which do not address the issues and relationships of theory and research. This work allows students to understand the theoretical side of urban theory as well as to see practical applications of contemporary urban problems. The book is targeted primarily to undergraduates in urban studies or sociology courses. Both graduate and undergraduate seminars will be able to make good use of this unique yet pragmatic text.

( For more than 60 years, Times Square has reigned as one...)
For more than 60 years, Times Square has reigned as one of New York's premiere tourist attractions. In recent years, an average of 20 million people visit New York City, and Times Square is a sight most do not miss. The reason for this is that Times Square holds something for everyone: theaters, restaurants, entertainment, and a transportation center that brings almost 400,000 people into the city every day. For a sociologist interested in studying crime and the ways in which deviant networks and communities emerge, Times Square offers numerous opportunities. Because large segments of these groups pride themselves on anonymity, many researchers employ ethnographic research methods. The articles in this manuscript focus on the various aspects of Time Square using the ethnographic approach. The topics include the sex trade, drugs and drug dealing, recent redevelopment efforts, the social ecology of Times Square, and a discussion of police operations in this marketplace.
