The contrast between the ecological and compositional approaches can be expressed this way: while the ecological theory maintains that urbanism has a direct impact on the coherence of groups, with serious consequences for the individuals, the compositional theory maintains that these social worlds are largely impervious to ecological factors, and thus urbanism has no serious and direct effect on groups or individuals. Does it mean that location has no consequence? The Subcultural theorists discovered conditions under which the location did play a specific role in people’s lives.
