ABSTRACT
The espouse theories of spatial relationships that not only involve segregation and migration processes also explain urban inequalities as consequences of political and economic systems. The two theories of spatial organization, one postmodern/Marxist and one free market, illustrate clearly the different beliefs about the roles of capitalism in shaping urban form and racial inequalities. The growth of cities has explains by transportation technology and industrialization. The form of denial enabled planners to distance thinking from the economic and social hardships created by the industrial city and to focus on idealized cities of the future. The population continued to expand and urban migration increased after World War II, the land consumed by city life dramatically changed. The most common suburban industrial form became the industrial park, which, like retailing, served as a new nucleus for further metropolitan growth. The free–market vision of metropolitan growth argues that urban expansion is the logical outcome of economic forces to which a free society responds.
