City of disorder

Alex S. Vitale

About this book

"In City of Disorder, Vitale uses neighborhood case studies and city-wide economics development data to investigate the rise of punitive urban social policies. His findings show that the neoconservative backlash against the homeless and poor was a direct result of urban liberalism's embracing of neoliberal economic development strategies and its unwillingness to use local resources to respond to the disorder it helped create in a way that would have brought positive change to those on the margins."--BOOK JACKET.
