In this new volume, Michael A. Pagano curates essays focusing on
the neighborhood's role in urban policy solutions. The papers
emerged from dynamic discussions among policy makers, researchers,
public intellectuals, and citizens at the 2014 UIC Urban Forum. As
the writers show, the greater the city, the more important its
neighborhoods and their distinctions. The topics focus on
sustainable capital and societal investments in people and firms at
the neighborhood level. Proposed solutions cover a range of
possibilities for enhancing the quality of life for individuals,
households, and neighborhoods. These include everything from
microenterprises to factories; from social spaces for collective
and social action to private facilities; from affordable housing
and safety to gated communities; and from neighborhood public
education to cooperative, charter, and private schools.
Contributors: Andy Clarno, Teresa Cordova, Nilda Flores-Gonzalez,
Pedro A. Noguera, Alice O'Connor, Mary Pattillo, Janet Smith, Nik
Theodore, Elizabeth S. Todd-Breland, Stephanie Truchan, and Rachel
Weber.
