INTRODUCTION TO URBAN STUDIES -Sociology of Rural, Urban and Migration-

“Ancient cities, medieval cities and modern cities, cities in capitalist countries, cities in socialist countries, and cities in Third World countries—all of these were within our broad intellectual framework. The resulting urban sociology could be anything you can think of, if you knew it was happening in cities. If you could see it, then you could see it discussed elsewhere in the literature of urban sociology." Saunders, R (2013). Social theory: Urban sociology (S. Bring Right, Trans.). Ideal Culture Publishing.
The construction of the city and the spread of cities to almost every corner of the world has been one of the most successful human creations of all time. Although it is very difficult to make a classification about the city and urban studies, which has been discussed in many ways, associated with different disciplines and has a rich literature written on it, the framework of this book covers a broad perspective from demography to the phenomenon of urbanization, from rural practices to the process of squatting, from social mobility to migration studies. and developed incrementally.
Introduction to Urban Studies aims to illuminate the dynamics of the past and present by approaching, step by step, the issues of city, dirt and migration, which still remain important and do not fall off the agenda. This work, which can be used by both those who are interested in urban studies and experts, is important in terms of being a starter book and creating integrity in the academic context.
