Scandinavian countries are generally associated with extensive
public services and low levels of poverty. However, reality has
changed dramatically over the last three decades, and Scandinavia's
cities now share many of the problems and challenges familiar from
other Western cities. How do the welfare states handle these global
societal transformations? In Social Transformations in Scandinavian
Cities, researchers highlight the changing face of social
sustainability and social disintegration in Scandinavian cities.
They offer theoretical and empirical analyses of how migration,
inequality, and residential segregation intersect with shifting
national and local policies, charting their impact on urban
landscapes in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The authors challenge
the standard view of Scandinavia as a haven of equality and peace.
Unemployment, criminality, and poor school performance in
ethnically and socio-economically segregated residential areas have
finally been recognized and tackled through urban policies since
the 1990s. In this book we learn why and in which ways progress is
being made.
