Urban sociology is a branch of sociology that focuses on the study of cities and urban life. It explores various aspects of urban areas such as social interactions, social structures, public policies, urban development, and the impact of urbanization on society. Urban sociologists examine how cities shape human behavior, relationships, and identities, as well as how social inequalities manifest within urban environments. They also study urban cultures, communities, and the dynamics of urban neighborhoods. Overall, urban sociology aims to understand the complexities of urban living and address issues related to urbanization, urban planning, and social change in cities.
