An unfocused collage of New York housing rights movements and the negative psychological effects of homelessness marketed as the definitive manifesto of the universal housing guarantee. What it does go into it doesn't do so enough, giving only a cursory overview. The good stuff, the prescription, the way forward, is crammed at the end. If someone could please recommend me a book on public housing with vision I'm all ears. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In every major city in the world there is a housing crisis. How did this happen and what can we do about it? Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city ever more acute. Pro fit has become more important than social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are faced with the violence of displacement and gentri fication. And the bene fits of decent housing are only available for those who can a fford it. In Defense of Housing is the de finitive statement on this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political and economic roots--and therefore requires a radical response. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
