Evidence for the negative effects of segregation and concentrated
poverty in America's cities now exists in abundance; poor and
underrepresented communities in segregated urban housing markets
suffer diminished outcomes in education, economic mobility,
political participation, and physical and psychological health.
Though many of the aggravating factors underlying this inequity
have persisted or even grown worse in recent decades, the level of
energy and attention devoted to them by local and national
policymakers has ebbed significantly from that which inspired the
landmark civil rights legislation of the 1960s. Marking 50 years
since the passage of the Fair Housing and Civil Rights Acts, Facing
Segregation both builds on and departs from two generations of
scholarship on urban development and inequality. Authors provide
historical context for patterns of segregation in the United States
and present arguments for bold new policy actions ranging from
local innovations to national initiatives. The volume refocuses
attention on achievable solutions by providing not only an overview
of this timely subject, but a roadmap forward as the twenty-first
century assesses the successes and failures of the housing policies
inherited from the twentieth. Rather than introducing new theories
or empirical data sets describing the urban landscape, Metzger and
Webber have gathered the field's first collection of prescriptions
for what ought to be done.
