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.
