In sociology, it is the first major attempt to study urban environment by combined efforts of theory and ethnographic fieldwork[?] in Chicago. The major researchers in this schools include Robert Park[?], Lous Wirth[?], Ernest Burgess[?], and Robert MCKenzie[?]. During the 1920s to 1930s period, urban sociology was almost synonymous to the Chicago school. Since the mid-20th Century saw a series of criticisms, including New Urban Sociology, which emphasizes political dimension. The controversial Los Angeles school's views on postmodern urbanism and scholarship is a conscious effort to depart from Chicago school.
