This volume represents an attempt to link the theories and research of an interdisciplinary group of urbanists with the practical applications that scholars can help institute in the community. The articles in "Neighbourhood Politics", analyze political forces within local communities and their intersection with policy decisions about economic development. Those in "Community and Identity" examine the ways in which individuals are shaped by and respond to changing economic conditions in their communities. In "Perspectives on Community Issues and Policies" the authors explore the specific cases of child development, education reform and rent control policies as outcomes of contested or problematic community relations. The articles in "Information technology and Community Development" discuss models of community development linked to community networks. In "Institutional Support for Community Building" the authors show how the institutions of religion and higher education have the potential to strengthen local community development. Several of these papers were presented in an earlier form at meetings of the Urban Affairs Association in Toronto, USA (1997) or Fort Worth, USA (1998).

This highly regarded book reflects the latest thinking on the issues and trends that have emerged in contemporary urban America and gives readers an authoritative overview of U.S. urban history and the central theoretical issues in urban sociology. Against this backdrop Urban Problems in Sociological Perspective explores contemporary urban problems at home and abroad and the various policies that have been advanced to address those problems. Throughout, the authors incorporate current material on such topics as the changing locus of U.S. regional growth and decline, intensifying poverty, changes in the welfare system, the collapse of "state socialism" in Eastern Europe, increasing urbanization of the Third World, and changing conditions in the global economy.
