The urban revolution that isn't: The political ecology of the new 'urbanology'

Abstract

The Industrial Revolution, including the ascendance of computer technology, has remade essential elements of human culture and relocated human life. In 1800, when James Watt's patent for his steam engine was only 25 years old, only 3% of the human population lived in urban areas. By the end of World War II this had risen to 30%. At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, for the first time as many humans were living in urban areas as in rural communities.
