"Urban geography is the subdiscipline of geography that derives from a study of cities and urban processes. Urban geographers and urbanists examine various aspects of urban life and the built environment."
This sub-field examines the spatial aspects of urbanization, including the patterns of urban growth and development, land-use, and environmental issues.
Urbanization: The process of people moving from rural areas to urban areas.
City Structures: City structures refer to the patterns and design of the city. This includes urban planning, land use, zoning, transportation, and built environment.
City Growth: The factors that lead to city growth, such as economic growth, immigration, and birth rates.
City Demography: The study of the characteristics of the urban population such as age, sex, race, education, and social class.
Urbanization and Politics: The role of political policies and institutions in shaping urban areas.
Urbanization and Economy: The role of cities in economic development, including the factors that promote or hinder the development of urban economies.
Urbanization and Social Interaction: The way people from diverse backgrounds and cultures interact in an urban environment. This includes topics such as segregation, gentrification, and multiculturalism.
Urbanization and the Environment: The impact of urbanization on the environment, including air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change.
Urban Housing: The availability, affordability, and quality of housing in urban areas.
Urban Transportation: The transportation systems in urban areas, including public transportation, biking, and walking.
Urban Planning and Design: The process of designing and planning urban spaces to meet the needs and desires of the local population.
Urban Public Spaces: Parks and public spaces in urban areas, and their importance in socializing and community building.
The Social and Political Implications of Urbanization: The relation between urbanization and social inequality, urban poverty, crime and homelessness.
Urban Cultural Diversity: The way cultural diversity shapes the culture of cities and the way this contributes to the cultural identity of urban dwellers.
Urban Technology and Innovation: The way technology and innovation drive urbanization and shape the ways that we view our cities.
Urbanization Theory: This type of urban geography examines the social, economic, and cultural processes that lead to urbanization.
Social Geography: This subfield studies the social and cultural factors that influence the spatial distribution of urban populations and their interactions.
Economic Geography: This type of urban geography focuses on the economic activities and processes that take place within urban areas, particularly the spatial distribution of industries, commerce, and markets.
Urban Ecology: Studies the interactions between human populations and their environment in urban areas.
Urban History: This subfield investigates the historical development of urban areas, including the social and cultural processes that have shaped urban landscapes over time.
Urban Politics: This type of urban geography examines the political structures and processes that govern urban areas.
Urban Anthropology: Studies the cultural practices and beliefs of urban populations, including the social and cultural processes that shape urban identities.
Urban Demography: This subfield studies urban populations' size, distribution, and composition over time and space.
Urban Planning: This type of urban geography focuses on the design and management of urban areas, including the spatial distribution of different land uses and the provision of urban services.
Transport Geography: Studies how transportation systems within urban areas influence the spatial distribution of populations, land use patterns, and economic activities.

"Social geography examines societal and cultural values, diversity, and other conditions that relate to people in the cities."
