Summary

This book explores the central question in urban and housing studies: Do poor neighborhoods make their residents poorer? Does the neighborhood structure exert an effect on the residents (behavioral, attitudinal, or psychological) even when controlling for individual characteristics of the residents? This issue has offered a locus for multi-disciplinary investigations on both sides of the Atlantic, and this volume demonstrates the rich geographical, sociological, economic, and psychological dimensions of this important topic. This is a special issue of the journalHousing Studies.
