Article abstract

Examining the main lines of research in urban sociology, the author concludes that ithas neither specific theoretical preoccupations nor a concrete, specificallycircumscribed subject matter. There still remains, however, the réintégration in theanalysis, under a new perspective, of certain key problems dealt with in the traditionof urban sociology, mainly those of space organization and those which deal with thesocial patterns of collective consumption. In the former case the author analyses thetransformation of space as a specification of the transformation of social structureand proposes the elements of the urban system and the principles of theirarticulation. In the latter case he sets forth a theory which is centered upon thestructural study of city planning.
