Regional tradition - looking at a single city, case study - city by city - 1950s. Spatial analysis approach - privileged numbers/stats, heightened by availability of comp, algorithms, software, quantitative method. Limited only used numbers, no connection to people - 1960s. Behavioral approach - looking at peoples behaviour vs. humanistic approach- no numbers/data, limited to the meanings and feelings of the people/city - 1970s. Structuralist approach - capitalist perspective, research based on that. Feminist approach - based on gender roles/distinctions/differences, showed people had various backgrounds, not just between men/women, but immigrants, children, etc. Poststructuralist approach - power does not come from structure, it is created by us, give power or create power. A lot of these perspectives come from european thinkers, majority of the schools are based in north america.
