The book uses Athens as a case study to identify the key features
of urban anti-poverty policies in Greece and to discuss them in
relation to policy developments in the crisis-ridden countries of
Southern Europe. The idea of contested landscapes shapes the focus
of the book on urban poverty and homelessness. Contested landscapes
refer to the complex dynamics between visible and invisible poverty
and to competing strategies on how to address them. The book takes
a path-dependent view on the development of post-welfare
arrangements, devolution, and pluralism that are being shaped by
both neoliberal mentality, solidarity and communitarian practices.
The authors draw on their own research and advocacy background in
New York and Athens to shape their conceptual and methodological
tools; however, rather than uncritically 'importing' North American
and North European concepts to Greece, the book highlights the
significance of distinctive Mediterranean features for analysing
homelessness and anti-poverty policies. This will be a useful read
for academics policy makers in areas of urban studies, sociology,
social policy, human geography and anthropology.
