Description:
This controversial volume critically examines the case for shifting the focus of urban studies from Chicago to Los Angeles. For most of the twentieth century, the precepts of the "Chicago School" have guided urban analysts throughout the world. In this book a diverse group of experienced scholars from a variety of disciplines begin the task of defining an alternative agenda for urban studies based upon the precepts of what is referred to as the "Los Angeles School." It argues as Joel Garreau observed: "Every American city that is growing, is growing in the fashion of Los Angeles." Los Angeles has become, for many, not the exception but rather a prototype of the city of the future.
