In contemporary European and American urban policy and politics and
in academic research it is typically assumed that spatial
concentrations of poor households and/or ethnic minority households
will have negative effects upon the opportunities to improve the
social conditions of those who are living in these concentrations.
Since the level of concentration tends to be correlated with the
level of spatial segregation the 'debate on segregation' is also
linked to the social opportunity discussion. This book explores the
central questions in urban and housing studies: Do poor
neighbourhoods make their residents poorer? Does the neighbourhood
structure exert an effect on the residents (behavioural,
attitudinal, or psychological) even when controlling for individual
characteristics of the residents? This issue has offered a locus
for multi-disciplinary investigations on both sides of the
Atlantic, and this volume demonstrates the rich geographical,
sociological, economic and psychological dimensions of this issue.
This book was previously published as a special issue of the
journal Housing Studies.
