Considering the processes mediated by the city, the functions it performs, and its effects on human life, this is not surprising at all. Of course, a city is not merely composed of material structures. Besides being the largest social unit with physical integrity and tangibility, the city is both the creator and the nexus of a vast network of social relationships. Unlike the nomad's winter quarters and the village, it is the place where humans encounter, interact with, and live alongside \"those unlike themselves,\" the \"stranger.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; poverty-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 12px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 18px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAs Rousseau put it, \"houses make a village, a town, but citizens make a city.\" Therefore, from Plato to Thomas More, from Fourier to today, we should not be surprised when those who set out to imagine a better world begin by sketching a city as they concretize and elaborate their dreams. Perhaps, in fact, we should be surprised by the relative scarcity of theoretical research on the city. The American thinker Lewis Mumford, who worked in a wide range of fields from urban planning to the history of art and culture, from technology to social criticism, took the first and giant step towards meeting this need with his masterpiece, The City in History.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 12px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 18px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIn this book, Mumford writes both a history of the evolution of cities and a history of civilization with the city at its focal point. Tracing the creative and destructive possibilities of the city back to prehistoric times, he takes the reader from Mesopotamia and Egypt, through Greece, Rome, and the Middle Ages, through the capitals of European monarchies and industrial cities, to the crossroads of today's world. The City in History is a book that calls people to think, discuss, and take a stand at this crossroads where possibilities and risks have reached colossal dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayrıntı Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409080074435,"sku":"9789755392769","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789755392769.jpg?v=1616018876"},{"product_id":"i̇nsa-etmek-ve-yasamak-sehir-etigi","title":"To Build and to Live: Urban Ethics","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this comprehensive work, Richard Sennett examines the poignant relationship between the architectural structures of cities and the lifestyles of their inhabitants, spanning a broad framework from ancient Greece to 21st-century Shanghai.

The author discusses the artificial reproduction of authentic values and lifestyles and their presentation at affordable prices to \"developed\" Westerners. In this process, he discusses practices such as indigenous people wearing authentic uniforms, rural areas being arranged for hikers, and local foods being mass-produced and packaged. Urry also reveals how the service sector regulates and encourages the consumption of places, and how places, their inhabitants, and the natural environment are transformed and reconstructed with the expansion of this consumption market. In the context of the changing forms of rural consumption, he investigates the nature of consumption and the tension between commodification and collective enthusiasms. The author shows that, due to the \"developed\" West's curiosity about the \"untouched,\" the rural area, once home to agricultural production and nature, has transformed into a simulation of a natural environment established to serve the elite and middle-class adventurers. Urry frames these issues within a time-space social analysis, emphasizing sociology's characteristic of drawing from the interests of other social sciences and transforming the subjects they cover within its own scope. While focusing on tourism and the consumption of places, the author significantly emphasizes political, economic, and cultural processes, presenting an important and meticulous example of a comprehensive time-space sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayrıntı Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46757861064947,"sku":"9789755392073","price":432.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/files\/Screenshot_8_1b9ad9f9-4cb2-4b11-ad3f-fedc1bcbb27e.png?v=1740735527"},{"product_id":"kent-hakki-don-mitchell","title":"The Right to the City: The Struggle for Social Justice and Public Space","description":"\u003cp\u003eDon Mitchell emphasizes that the struggle to exist in public spaces and expand the boundaries of publicness cannot be separated from the concepts of democracy and social justice.
