Chicago School and Other Interesting Information

Two men by the name of Park and Burgess say that ghettos are Geseillschaft and everyone is out for themselves.
An article written by Gans called "Fiery" was a very important article in terms of cities and communities. Gans spoke about cities and the slums and stated that Wirth's three points that he talks about in his writing do not always destroy cities but often they can help them too.
The three points that Gans is talking about are size, heterogeneigty, and density. The three factors Gans says do not always destroy the cities. Gans also said that there are five people who live in cities. 1.) Cosmopolites (usually wealthy, they feel they have to live there)
2.) Young/Single
3.) Ethnic Villagers
4.) Deprived People
5.) Trapped and downwardly mobile.
According to Gans these are the five people who make up cities. Gans spoke about cities through a variety of essays and alot of his work and reaction are interesting to read about.
