This course examines "neighborhood" and "community" as concepts, as well as places, from an urban sociological perspective. Topics related to neighborhood include how neighborhoods are defined geographically, the distribution and measurement of neighborhood characteristics, including population, geographic, and economic characteristics and how these spatial differences are generated, lifestyles within neighborhoods, and neighborhood effects on life chances and quality of life of residents. In the "community" portion of the course, we will consider various ways that the concept has been defined and used, including spatial (communities of place) and non-spatial (communities of interest) dimensions. We will examine the concept from a variety of theoretical perspectives that propose arguments as to why "community" is important, how it is created by people, and the consequences of varying degrees of the presence (or absence) of community.
