Abstract

This article presents a critical perspective on the Chicago School of Sociology in the early twentieth century. It considers the influence of the School on spatial science and social geography and also assesses the contributions to urban research by others in Chicago (mostly women) and elsewhere. The article suggests that a focus on a small number of influential sociologists in ‘The Chicago School’ has contributed to the neglect of alternative approaches to understanding the city developed in the same period.
