The Return of the Neighborhood as an Urban Strategy, Hardback Book

The Return of the Neighborhood as an Urban Strategy Hardback

Edited by Michael A. Pagano

Part of the The Urban Agenda series

Hardback

Description

In this new volume, Michael A. Pagano curates essays focusing on the neighborhood's role in urban policy solutions.

The papers emerged from dynamic discussions among policy makers, researchers, public intellectuals, and citizens at the 2014 UIC Urban Forum.

As the writers show, the greater the city, the more important its neighborhoods and their distinctions.

The topics focus on sustainable capital and societal investments in people and firms at the neighborhood level.

Proposed solutions cover a range of possibilities for enhancing the quality of life for individuals, households, and neighborhoods.

These include everything from microenterprises to factories; from social spaces for collective and social action to private facilities; from affordable housing and safety to gated communities; and from neighborhood public education to cooperative, charter, and private schools. Contributors: Andy Clarno, Teresa Cordova, Nilda Flores-Gonzalez, Pedro A.

Noguera, Alice O'Connor, Mary Pattillo, Janet Smith, Nik Theodore, Elizabeth S.

Todd-Breland, Stephanie Truchan, and Rachel Weber.
