The Historic Core of Los Angeles (Paperback): Curtis C. Roseman, Ruth Wallach, Dace Taube, Linda McCann, Geoffrey Deverteuil The Historic Core of Los Angeles (Paperback)

In the early 20th century, there was no better example of a classic American downtown than Los Angeles. Since World War II, Los Angeles's Historic Core has been "passively preserved," with most of its historic buildings left intact. Recent renovations of the area for residential use and the construction of Disney Hall and the Staples Center are shining a new spotlight on its many pre-1930s Beaux Arts, Art Deco, and Spanish Baroque buildings.

Resilience in the Post-Welfare Inner City - Voluntary Sector Geographies in London, Los Angeles and Sydney (Paperback):... Resilience in the Post-Welfare Inner City - Voluntary Sector Geographies in London, Los Angeles and Sydney (Paperback)
Geoffrey Deverteuil
R887 Discovery Miles 8 870 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

'Resilience' has become one of the first fully fledged academic and political buzzwords of the 21st century. Within this context, Geoffrey DeVerteuil proposes a more critically engaged and conceptually robust version, applying it to the conspicuous but now residual clusters of inner-city voluntary sector organisations deemed 'service hubs'. The process of resilience is compared across ten service hubs in three complex but different global inner-city regions - London, Los Angeles and Sydney - in response to the threat of gentrification-induced displacement. DeVerteuil shows that resilience can be about holding on to previous gains but also about holding out for transformation. The book is the first to move beyond theoretical works on 'resilience' and offers a combined conceptual and empirical approach that will interest urban geographers, social planners and researchers in the voluntary sector.
