Description
Palgrave MacMillan The City in Urban Poverty 2015 Edition by C. Lemanski, C. Marx
The contributors respond to the absence of critical debate surrounding the ways in which spaces of the city do not merely contain, but also constitute, urban poverty. The volume explores how the spaces of the city actively produce and reproduce urban poverty.
