Integrating the Inner City
The Chicago Housing Authority s Plan for Transformation repudiated the city s large-scale housing projects and the paradigm that produced them.

But is the Plan an ambitious example of urban regeneration or a not-so-veiled effort at gentrification? Is it resulting in integration or displacement? What kinds of communities are emerging from it? Chaskin and Joseph s book is the most thorough examination of the Plan to date.

Further, they reflect the intensity of interaction between the ‘global’ and the ‘local’ in the metropolis,...

Unsettling Cities
This text examines the global nature of cities - cities whose openness has shaped their dynamism and character. It explores cities as sites of movement, migration and settlement where different peoples, cultures and environments combine.

The contributors reveal the association between the changing fortunes of cities and the power and influence of global networks.
