Abstract

This article presents, from sociological perspective, some selected methodological issues related to urban studies. The authors of such studies remain between creating theory of the city functioning, and depicting a changing urban reality, thus investigating the history of a city. In the first strand we will encounter the more or less formalized works, such as these of Louis Wirth or Richard Florida, or the quantitative concept of Geoffrey West and Louis Bettencourt. The second type of studies is represented by Max Weber, Fernand Braudel and others. The author, although not denying the merits of the first strand, claims that so far the descriptive-historical approach is more useful in explaining the process of urban development.
