Preferred term

city users  

Definition

  • City user is a fancy label applied to an analytically based concept, elaborated for two reasons: (1) The inadequacy of the traditional urban analysis, largely based on resident populations, to cope with the accrued mobility of urban areas, and (2) the increased difficulty in explaining urban dynamics based on concepts requiring strong assumptions of collective rationality like all class-based analyses. Thus in 1993 I proposed to reintroduce the concept of populations in urban analysis. [Source: Encyclopedia of Urban Studies; City Users]
