Efficiency and the city 5.The sentient city 6. Phenomenology and the city Conclusion BibliographyReviewsHow truly different is living in a city from in the countryside? Is it just a question of population density or is it more about the projects and paths that channel everyday life? In other words, are cities truly distinctive objects, however much one might differ in its layout and phenomenology from another? Are cities changing their shape in response to dominant changes in the workings of the world economy? These are the sorts of questions that animate this book. The author, Rob Sullivan, has interesting responses to all of them. What I like most about the book, however, is his refusal to confuse responses with totalizing answers. John Agnew, Department of Geography, UCLA.
