Neighbourhoods of Poverty: Urban Social Exclusion and Integration in Comparison
by Sako Musterd
On This Page
Description
Neighbourhoods of Poverty is concerned with the spatial dimension of urban social exclusion and integration. It draws on research from twenty-two neighbourhoods in eleven European cities: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, London, Birmingham, Berlin, Hamburg, Milan, Naples and Paris and addresses two questions:- How do different neighbourhoods have an impact upon the opportunities and perspectives of poor individuals and households?- Are these neighbourhood impacts conditioned by show more national and welfare state contexts, by the wider metropolitan structures and by specific neighbourhood characteristics?Various aspects of poverty, social exclusion and integration are brought together and provide a new assessment of the place of neighbourhood within these wider debates. show lessTags
