People in Cities is about the experience of urban life. Edward Krupat analyzes current research and theory about the ways in which cities affect people, contrasts urban living with life in smaller communities, and compares popular notions and stereotypes about city dwellers with the results of empirical research. Taking a social psychological perspective, he integrates idea from psychology, sociology, urban planning, and architecture.
Nontechnical and readable, the book offers a sophisticated examination of models of urban life and explores the issues of stress and crowding, urban social relationships, images of the city, and the impact of good and poor design.
