Cities and suburbs are home to nearly three-quarters of Americans. Urban areas are not just concentrations of people but also concentrations of wealth, power and opportunity. However, cities ans suburbs also face great problems like traffic management and mass transit, the provision of affordable housing, persistently high crime rates and racial tension. Urban and regional studies is a multidisciplinary field of study that offers insight into the features, systems and problems of cities and the regions to which they are connected. Urban and regional studies integrates not only with geography but also economics, political science, sociology and business administration.
