Social Infrastructure and Vulnerability in the Suburbs examines how
the combination of the low-density, car-centric geography of outer
suburbs and neoliberal governance in the past several decades has
affected disadvantaged populations in North American metro areas.
Taking the example of York Region, a large outer suburb north of
Toronto, the authors provide a spatial analysis that illuminates
the invisible geography of vulnerability in the region. The volume
examines access to social services by vulnerable groups who are not
usually associated with the suburbs: recent immigrants, seniors,
and low-income families. Investigating their access to four types
of social infrastructure - education, employment, housing, and
settlement services - this book presents a range of policy
recommendations for how to address the social inequalities that
characterize contemporary outer suburbs.
Immigration has expanded dramatically in both traditional and
emerging receiving nations. This worldwide boom has profoundly
altered urban areas as new arrivals have transformed inner cities
and suburbs alike into bastions of new ethnic economic activity.
Examining the essential role of space in assisting and modifying
ethnic business activity, this book considers how ethnic economies
are reshaping the urban landscape in the United States, Britain,
Australia, Canada, Germany, and Italy. Each chapter explores the
significance of urban space and local context in the development of
an ethnic economy and how, in turn, ethnic economies have helped to
recreate urban neighborhoods. With its international scope and rich
case studies, this book will be invaluable for scholars and
students alike in the fields of ethnic studies, urban studies,
economic development, geography, and sociology.
