This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In 'Civics: As Applied Sociology,' Sir Patrick Geddes examines the idea of civics as a practical application of sociological principles to urban planning and the organization of society. The book reflects Geddes's belief that understanding human behavior and social relationships is essential to creating well-functioning communities and cities.Geddes introduces the concept of 'civics' as a field that goes beyond mere governance and public administration. He argues that civics should encompass a broader understanding of how people interact with their environment, how communities form, and how cities can be designed to enhance the well-being of their inhabitants.The book delves into topics such as city planning, social organization, and the impact of the physical environment on human behavior. Geddes advocates for a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to urban planning, taking into account not only physical infrastructure but also the social, cultural, and ecological aspects of urban life.Geddes's ideas in 'Civics: As Applied Sociology' were influential in the early development of urban planning as a field of study and practice. He emphasized the importance of understanding the social fabric of communities and the need to incorporate sociological insights into the design and development of cities.This book is a significant contribution to the fields of sociology and urban planning, highlighting the importance of considering the human element in the design and organization of urban spaces. Geddes's ideas continue to influence urban planning and the study of cities to this day. 98 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Civics as Applied Sociology by Patrick Geddes is a seminal work that explores the intersection of sociology and urban planning. Presented in two parts, the text was initially delivered at meetings of the Sociological Society in 1904 and 1905. Geddes emphasizes the importance of understanding cities through both geographic and historic lenses, advocating for comprehensive civic surveys to inform urban development. The first part of the work introduces the concept of the geographic and historic survey of cities, highlighting the role of citizens in urban evolution and the application of sociology to contemporary urban issues. Geddes discusses the literature of civics and engages in discussions and written communications to further elaborate on these ideas. The second part delves deeper into the methodologies for conducting civic surveys, addressing the challenges of geographical determinism and the necessity for abstract methods in notation and interpretation. Geddes proposes a methodical analysis of the city-complex, comparing towns and schools, and examining their mutual influences. He explores the development of educational institutions and their impact on urban areas, evolving from 'school' to 'cloister' and eventually to the 'city proper.' The text also addresses the historical city-complex, the inherent challenges of urban environments, and the symbolic meanings of civic elements. Geddes concludes with a forecast of city development, using Glasgow as a case study to illustrate the evolution from 'paleotechnic' to 'neotechnic' phases, and proposes a practical civic exhibition to showcase these ideas.…
