Urban Studies is a broad, interdisciplinary field of study that includes subfields not only in most of the major social sciences, but also in the humanities, and in more technical fields such as architecture, planning, engineering, environmental science, and legal studies. What binds together urbanist scholars in various disciplines is a focus on the lived experiences of larger social systems and structural forces in specific places marked by large, dense, and heterogeneous populations. Though today it is evidently a global process, urbanization has proceeded unevenly, largely following the growth of markets, moving from Europe, to the Americas, and then to Asia and Africa. The academic study of cities has largely followed the same progression.
