Answer:

Symbolic Interactionism

Explanation:

Theorists of urban sociology use this approach to study the nature of interaction of the urban citizens with each other. They are also interested in the reason of their interaction and perception of various aspects of urban life. They try to depict cities as places where different norms and values exist, and follow a certain type of order, contrary to the theories that see them as places of chaos.

Elijah Anderson, born 1943. is an American sociologist. He is one of the leading urban ethnographers and cultural theorists.
