The Changing American Neighborhood argues that the physical and
social spaces created by neighborhoods matter more than ever for
the health and well-being of twenty-first-century Americans and
their communities. Taking a long historical view, this book
explores the many dimensions of today's neighborhoods, the forms
they take, the forces and factors influencing them, and the people
and organizations trying to change them. Challenging conventional
interpretations of neighborhoods and neighborhood change, Alan
Mallach and Todd Swanstrom adopt a broad, inter-disciplinary
perspective that shows how neighborhoods are messy, complex
systems, in which change is driven by constant feedback loops that
link social, economic and physical conditions, each within distinct
spatial and political contexts. The Changing American Neighborhood
seeks to understand neighborhoods and neighborhood change not only
for their own importance, but for the insights they offer to help
guide peoples' efforts sustaining good neighborhoods and rebuilding
struggling ones.
