Urban Sociology: A Human Ecological Perspective by William A. Schwab

 Importance. 

The social realm of sustainability is the most neglected by urban and city planners. Sociology is the profession to add the needed umph to SWOT analyses and community scans while comprehensive plans are constructed. 

Professor Schwab’s book, while dated 1982 is not dated in the sense of the quality of his presentation of the basics of sociology at the urban scale…essential study material for those interested in providing depth to urban planning and urban plans.
