Abstract:
Urban theorists have tried for decades to define exactly what a
neighborhood is. But behind that daunting existential question lies a
much murkier problem: never mind how you define them—how do you make
neighborhoods productive and fair for their residents? In Making Our
Neighborhoods, Making Our Selves, George Galster delves deep into the
question of whether American neighborhoods are as efficient and
equitable as they could be—socially, financially, and emotionally—and,
if not, what we can do to change that. Galster aims to redefine the
relationship between places and people, promoting specific policies
that reduce inequalities in housing markets and beyond. Drawing on
economics, sociology, geography, and psychology, Making Our
Neighborhoods, Making Our Selves delivers a clear-sighted explanation
of what neighborhoods are, how they come to be—and what they should be.
