What makes a city tick — and who decides how its spaces are divided, contested, and transformed? Internal Structure of the City: Readings on Space and Environment, edited by Larry S. Bourne of the University of Toronto, is a landmark academic anthology that brings together some of the most incisive scholarship of its era on the spatial and environmental organisation of urban life. Drawing on contributions from dozens of leading researchers across geography, sociology, urban planning, and economics, this comprehensive collection presents a sweeping survey of the forces that shape the internal geography of modern cities — from land use patterns and residential segregation to transportation networks and environmental quality. As a foundational text in urban geography and planning theory, this anthology argues that the city is not merely a backdrop to human activity but an active structure that mediates social relations, economic opportunity, and environmental experience. Bourne's editorial vision brings cohesion to a wide-ranging set of perspectives, illustrating how questions of space and environment intersect with those of power, identity, and inequality. Decades after its publication, the questions it raises about who controls urban space — and at whose expense — remain as urgent and unresolved as ever.
