I was born and raised in the heart of the city, in the area of Kerameikos, only 300 m. away from the Acropolis. To me, the city center was a magical place full of endless possibilities, secrets and surprises, waiting for me to discover them all. Over the last few years, I combine my love for the city and science in my PhD thesis on Wandering in the Urban Environment. | ||
Presentation
This is a brief presentation for every urban explorer who wishes to enrich the city experience with the basic tenets of urban sociology. Here are some key insights into some of the most important sine qua non works of five major modern thinkers: Emile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, Max Weber, Oswald Spengler and Robert E. Park. Their theory and criticism on the City and Urban Society are still considered to be the milestone of Urban Sociology. | |||
