In diesem Buch wird der aktuelle Stand der Stadtforschung in den relevanten Disziplinen verständlich dargestellt. Der Autor bietet Einblicke in die Sichtweisen der wichtigsten Disziplinen, die sich mit Stadt-Thematiken beschäftigen, wie Soziologie, Geographie, Raum- und Stadtplanung, Geschichte, Philosophie und Politikwissenschaft. Dabei berücksichtigt er auch die Sprachphilosophie und zeigt die unterschiedlichen Bedeutungen von stadtbezogenen Begriffen in einem Dutzend Wortsprachen auf. Ein Überblick über die zentralen Ansätze und Theorien sowie deren praktische Anwendung ermöglicht es den Lesern und Leserinnen, ein vertrautes Thema aus neuen Perspektiven zu betrachten.
