Abstract
This article is about the Chicago School which had a mark on a specific period regarding urban studies. The Chicago School or the commonly known Human Ecology emerged in the early 20th century as the dominant aproach to urban studies in American Sociology. The article deals with the emergence of the Chicago School as a perspective in urban sociology, its place in American Sociology, its leading figures and outcomes, in connection with the city of Chicago. Also included in the article are the grounds for the concepts of the ecological theory and human ecology as alternative names for the School; its similarities to and discrepancies with the Hull House social settlement movement, social work and reform movements; and the examples for books and articles produced in the context of the School.
