Recenzii

"Neighborhood and Life Chances is for the most part an examination of studies on changing urban communities and what happens when families move from impoverished urban neighborhoods to mixed-income communities... The variety and expertise of its contributors, coupled with a successful editing effort to maintain a unified style and coherent voice, make this book an interesting read."-Urban Geography "There is much material here that should interest those who care about American city neighborhoods as well as the experience, effects, and challenges of alleviating urban poverty."-Annals of the Association of American Geographers "Public policy interventions do not, sadly, guarantee success at work-or in life. However, Newburger, Birch, and Wachter have illuminated through well-documented research how place can dramatically impact the odds of success."-Nicolas P. Retsinas, Director, Joint Center for Housing Studies, Harvard University "This book is a fascinating compendium of insights and research about the impact of place on a wide range of human behaviors-from health to crime. If you think place matters, but you aren't sure why or how much, you need this book."-Alice M. Rivlin, Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution "Social progress and economic opportunity in our society are national ideals but they are realistically advanced in the physical places where Americans live and work. Support for these ideals must exist in our neighborhoods, cities, and metropolitan areas. Neighborhood and Life Chances captures this reality with precision and helps us understand it so that we can act on it."-Henry Cisneros, former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and current Executive Chairman, CityView "This collection of essays shows the historical 'people vs. places' urban policy debate to have been a false dichotomy-a difference without distinction. The contributors to this volume convincingly demonstrate that place matters, and that if our political leaders are committed to returning zip code to a metric of residential location rather than a forecast of household destiny, they will benefit from the insights presented in this rich mixture of smart, data-informed policy analysis."-Michael A. Stegman, Director of Policy and Housing, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
