This work provides a valuable review and collection of boomtown research from the past half century including a proposed new fifth wave. Boomtowns are rapid growth communities, often associated with natural resource development (e.g., gold, coal, oil/gas) and generally rural. Also, in its discussion of late modernity, the current undertaking answers the call put forth by Donnermeyer and DeKeseredy (2014) to challenge conventional theoretical views of resource extraction communities as simply experiencing ‘disruptions’.

第五波？新兴城市研究的不断变化的性质

这项工作对过去半个世纪的新兴城市研究进行了有价值的回顾和收集，其中包括拟议的第五次浪潮。繁荣城镇是快速增长的社区，通常与自然资源开发（例如，黄金，煤炭，石油/天然气）相关，并且通常与农村地区相关。另外，在对现代性的讨论中，当前的工作回答了Donnermeyer和DeKeseredy（2014）提出的挑战，即挑战资源提取社区的传统理论观点，认为它们只是经历了“破坏”。
