Since 9/11 the ghetto-enclave distinction has become blurred as crime and disorder have emanated from both European immigrant ethnic enclaves and America's ghettos. The contributors offer a variety of tools for addressing the problems of racial and income segregation, including school integration, area-based "fair share" housing requirements, place-based mixed-income housing development, and expanded demand-side residential subsidy options such as housing vouchers. By exploring these alternatives and their consequences, Desegregating the City provides the basis for a combination of flexible antisegregation strategies.

Includes bibliographical references (p[259-]290) and index.

CHOICE Review

These papers, originally presented at a seminar titled "Segregation in the City," explode the outdated simplistic stereotypes of ghettos and enclaves--ethnic communities distinguished by choice. The contributing authors examine how progress has occurred in reducing segregation patterns and the effectiveness of different anti-segregation policies in the urban US, Canada, Honduras, and South Africa. Part 1's six chapters attempt to answer several questions, concerning, for example, the functional and dysfunctional aspects of current ethnic enclaves in Chicago, Toronto, London, and Amsterdam, and how planners can develop policies to deal with the ghetto problem while recognizing the legitimacy and desirability of most ethnic enclaves. The final six chapters in part 2 deal with anti-segregation policies aimed at eliminating housing discrimination, removing regulatory devices that restrict low-income housing from the suburbs, creating mixed-income communities in cities and suburbs, and reducing inequality based on race and socioeconomic differences. These essays highlight the need for the federal government to play the leading role in addressing the causes and consequences of poverty, spatial segregation, limited education, unemployment, urban sprawl, environmental issues, and so forth. This multidisciplinary volume, a valuable addition to the literature on urban problems, policy, and planning, makes an important contribution toward developing policies targeted at desegregating cities. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended.
