communauté, community, société urbaine, sociologie urbaine, Anderson Nels, Lindeman Eduard C.

Extract from the Preface :   This book aims to fulfil but one purpose, namely, to meet the needs of students engaged in the study of the sociology of urban communities... The four queries with which this book concerns itself are: (a) What are the structural characteristics of the modern urban community? How does it appear as a social form? (b) What functions are performed by its inhabitants? In what sense are these activities sociologically significant? (c) In terms of social end-products, what sorts of personalities and groups characterize urban life? In what sense are these social ends departures from the rural cultural pattern? (d) What forms of social control are evoked by the impact of the urban environment?   Nels Anderson was Instructor in Sociology, Seth Low College of Columbia University. Eduard C. Lindeman was Professor of Social Philosophy, New York School of Social Work.
