Summary: "Civics: as Applied Sociology" by Patrick Geddes is a scholarly work that presents a sociological study of urban environments, likely written in the early 20th century. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding cities not just through abstract concepts but through concrete observations of their geographic and historic contexts. Geddes aims to develop a comprehensive approach to civics by linking social surveys to actionable civic services that could enhance the quality of life and civic engagement in urban settings. The opening of this work explores the foundational ideas of Geddes' thesis, asserting that a practical sociology approach is essential for meaningful civic improvement. He outlines the significance of a "Regional Survey," which would enable an understanding of cities as evolving entities shaped by various historical and geographic factors. By examining factors like the natural environment, geographic features, and historic developments, Geddes sets the groundwork for a more scientific basis for urban planning and social service. He advocates for a systematic method of studying communities, highlighting that only by understanding the interconnectedness of individual cities and their broader regional contexts can we begin to address modern social challenges effectively.
