Urbanism as a wasy of life


The article Louis Wirth wrote made me realize that the world hasn’t changed since he wrote his article on July 1938. In this article he writes about how cities affect people’s actions, attitudes and personalities. In modern days people are still affected by cities. Also in his article wirth writes about how more rural countries are becoming cities, because these countries are experiencing late industrialization, 73 years later countries are still experiencing industrialization. Nowadays we have countries that are forming into cities; one good example is Ecuador. Over the past century small villages; like Cuenca have formed into cities. I wonder what Louis Wirth would say if he still was alive, and to know that term urbanism has not changed at all.
