Abstract

This thesis gives a recount of the origins and early development of David Harvey’s Marxist criticism of capitalist urban society. To deal with the problems of the city, he attempts first to apply the geographical knowledge to urban social issue with a cross-disciplinary perspective and integrates the two seemingly separate fields through the close ties between social processes and spatial form. With the inclusion of the social dimension into urban social studies, Harvey eventually turns from Fabian socialism to Marxist understanding of society, which finally results into the emergence of Marxist geography
