About This Item
New York , NY, U.S.A.: Routledge, 1996. This study of the revamping of central and inner cities in Europe, North America, and Australia during the previous three decades challenges conventional wisdom that gentrification is simply the outcome of new middle-class demand for urban living and reveals it as part of a larger shift in the political economy and culture of the late 20th century; it examines the connections between urban policy, investment, and eviction, showing that public policy and the private market are conspiring against minorities, workers, the poor, and the homeless (white pictorial cover with slight edge wear; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy; in stock & available for immediate shipment from a reliable independent bookstore). Trade Paperback. Very Good.
