Social Cohesion and Urban Sprawl: Urbanization in the Perspective of Social Concern
Publication: ICCREM 2019: Innovative Construction Project Management and Construction Industrialization
ABSTRACT
From its inception in urban studies in the 1930s, the notion of urban sprawl was institutionalized and globalized. And the research on urban sprawl or urban growth has mostly focused on the urbanization of buildings, such as bungalows changing into skyscrapers. Moreover, there are a lot of scholars study urban sprawl from the aspect of evolution and development of industry in the urban fringe. But more and more sociologists present an idea that urbanism is not only the evolution of land use or changes of other objective things, is but also a kind of life style, a whole set of social and culture characteristics, which is totally different from that of rural area. This review summarizes studies of urban sprawl from many sides, and then conducts a diverse understanding of urban sprawl and urbanization, which points out that social is made of people and urbanization should add the concept of people’s urbanism, such as the social mixing, social integration. Only when the social urbanism is completed, the urbanization is done and urban sprawl finishes.
