Urban Sociology seeks to understand how cities develop, how social structures take shape within them, and how urban life both shapes and is shaped by broader social forces.

Part 1 Introduction to Urban Sociology 
Part 2 The Development of Urban Areas
Part 3 Urban Social Structures 
Part 4 Urban Issues and Challenges 
Part 5 Urban Planning and Policy
Part 6 Future of Urban Technology

Co-author (along with Robert Stebbins) of "Social Entrepreneurship for Dummies," Mark is also authoring a forthcoming primer on Environmental Sociology to be published by Kendall Hunt.
