Segregation by Design - Local Politics and Inequality in American Cities (Paperback)

Segregation by Design draws on more than 100 years of quantitative
and qualitative data from thousands of American cities to explore
how local governments generate race and class segregation. Starting
in the early twentieth century, cities have used their power of
land use control to determine the location and availability of
housing, amenities (such as parks), and negative land uses (such as
garbage dumps). The result has been segregation - first within
cities and more recently between them. Documenting changing
patterns of segregation and their political mechanisms, Trounstine
argues that city governments have pursued these policies to enhance
the wealth and resources of white property owners at the expense of
people of color and the poor. Contrary to leading theories of urban
politics, local democracy has not functioned to represent all
residents. The result is unequal access to fundamental local
services - from schools, to safe neighborhoods, to clean water.
