New urban sociology is a contemporary approach to the study of urbanisation that goes beyond traditional ecological models by considering the complex interplay of local, national, and worldwide forces and their profound effect on local urban space and the lives of city dwellers. This perspective places a special emphasis on the impact of global economic activity, political decisions, and social inequalities on the development and transformation of cities, recognizing that urban areas are not isolated entities but are deeply embedded in broader regional, national, and global contexts. New urban sociology examines issues such as gentrification, urban sprawl, the spatial concentration of poverty, the role of global capital in shaping urban landscapes, and the social and economic consequences of these processes for different groups within cities. It highlights the interconnectedness of local urban dynamics with larger global forces and power structures.
