	Louis Wirth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wirth writes that urbanism is a form of social organisation that is harmful to culture, Wirth details the city as a “Substitution of secondary for primary contacts, the weakening of bonds of kinship, the declining social significance of the family, the disappearance of neighbourhood and the undermining of traditional basis of social solidarity”.
		Wirth was concerned with the effects of the city upon family unity, and he believed urbanisation leads to a ‘low and declining urban reproduction rates … families are smaller and more frequently without children than in the country’.
		Wirth continues, marriage tends to be postponed, and the proportion of single people is growing leading to isolation and less interaction.

		Wirth continues to berate the human psyche in his third point: people who live in the same area have to have some unifying ideas and goals.
		First, I will quote Wirth's third generalization: "Urbanism as a characteristic mode of life may be approached empirically from [the perspective]…as a set of attitudes and ideas, and a constellation of personalities engaging in typical forms of collective behavior…" (102).
		Before Wirth writes this, however, in the previous section "Heterogeneity," Wirth writes on the topic of the individuals that comprise an urban society: "individuals who are thus detached from the organized bodies which integrate society comprise the fluid masses that make collective behavior in the urban community so unpredictable and hence so problematical" (101).

	loud paper : articles
		Wirth was concerned with defining urbanism in a sociologically rigorous way and thus came to an understanding of the city as constituted not as a physical structure but rather as a way of life.
		In his "Urbanism as a Way of Life," Wirth defined urbanism as being marked by a large and heterogeneous population, a density that concentrated that population and the new forms of behavior and relationships that resulted.
		Already by the time Wirth was writing, the city itself had been redefined as a demographic entity: from the city's political boundaries to a larger metropolitan region.

		Patrick Geddes, Robert E. Park, Karl Mannheim and Louis Wirth are models of such dual professionals for whom the historical-sociological context includes the influence of the Chicago School and Frankfurt School of Sociology-Social Science.
		Wirth is quoted as having reasoned: "We must not overlook the complex technological and social superstructure through which (the land) has been modified and which limits and conditions our use of it." (Scott 1969:346).
		Wirth admired and -- as sociologist -- collaborated with sociologist Mannheim, who also was active in the late 1930's and early 1940's -- as a planner.

		Other critical functions that Wirth cited as being in the city are now no place in particular.
		In the first part of the twentieth century, sociologists saw "urbanism as a way of life" (to borrow the title of Wirth's 1938 essay) in contrast with rural traditions.
		Whether one lived in a city or in a suburb was less important than the fact that one had left the country-side.

		“The poetic writings of Louis E. Bourgeois offer an exacting appreciation of personal tragedy, and of an infinitely larger world that embraces ‘the indifference of life to all things.’ With unwavering self-awareness, the poet defies universal authority, and challenges the reader’s perceptions of passing events.
		His poems are like small bombs that reverberate in the mind, and he also writes some of the best prose poems of any poet of his generation.
		Louis E. Bourgeois teaches literature and writing at Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi.

		The civic ethos, Wirth concluded, is one of indifference and numbness.

		The large numbers account for individual variability, the relative absence of intimate personal acquaintanceship, the segmentalization of human relations which are largely anonymous, superficial, and transitory, and associated characteristics.” I agree with his sociological definition of city and it’s phenomenon.
		(Theresa) While I would agree with Wirth in terms of the affect of density and size of population on the social activities and organizations of cities, I would have to disagree with the points he makes about the relationship between the city and its heterogeneous nature.
		I believe that part of the reason why people move to the suburbs is because they really are closer-knit communities where people know their neighbours and the people in their communities and many people, especially if you’re not from the city, don’t find that same sense of closeness there.

	Urbanism as a Way of Life...in Portland, Oregon
		Although crafted 47 years apart, the efforts of Louis Wirth (1938) and Terry Gilliam (1985) are remarkably in synch.
		As several students described in their papers for this project, Wirth's classic essay could have served as the screenplay notes for Gilliam’s sardonic depiction of a dystopic society.
		Wirth’s essay, still a hallmark among urban theorists and planning practitioners, stands as the first, and to this day most comprehensive statement about the sociological dynamics of modern urban life.

		Note: Writings in structure-functionalism have been criticized as being teleological: the perceived function defines the existence of the characteristic.
		Wirth begins this essay by saying he will present hypotheses logically derived from what is known about number, density, and heterogeneity.
		Instead, Wirth seems to presume certain characteristics of cities to be true without empirical support (e.g., the 'footlooseness' of the population, the 'leveling' of social institutions, lack of sentimental ties to one another and place).
