Urban Ethnography

Urban ethnography is the study of social and cultural life in urban settings through detailed observation and participation. Researchers immerse themselves in communities to understand the experiences, interactions, and norms of the people living there. This approach helps uncover the complexities of urban life, such as issues related to identity, social inequality, and community dynamics. By focusing on everyday practices and perspectives, urban ethnography reveals how individuals navigate their environments and how larger societal forces shape their lives in the city.
