This book describes the tremendous impact of housing policy, which
oftentimes discourages communities and inhibits family stability.
The book traces housing history from the Victorian Era in London to
the present. It gives special attention to Washington, D.C.,
presenting various grassroots programs that have grown to provide
community support in severely impoverished areas. The Unintended
Consequences gives important firsthand accounts of federal urban
initiatives and explains the importance of nurturing community.
Historical analysis is blended with interviews with public housing
residents and officials to supplement the firsthand account of
primary author James Banks. This book is appropriate for urban
planners, policy makers, advocates for the urban poor, as well as
students of sociology and urban studies in the United States.
