The Urban Struggle for Economic, Environmental and Social Justice (eBook, ePUB)

Deepening their roots

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of how strong-market cities are pressured to remain on the cutting edge of innovation by looking for ways to develop and enhance their local economy. It captures the current demographic shifts of blacks, Latinos and other people of color out of strong-market cities and the growing fear of displacement among low-income urban residents. Based on an analysis of eight low-income/mixed-income communities in Boston, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, DC., the book explores the efforts by these populations to remain in their communities and highlights how this leads to community organizing around economic, environmental, and social justice.
