Sommario/riassunto |
|
Goldhill takes on the archaeology of human imagination, hope, and disaster to provide a tour through the history of this image filled, ideology laden city. Along the way we discover the forgotten stories and the lesser known aspects of politics that continue to make Jerusalem one of the most embattled cities in the world. |

Despite decades of efforts to combat homelessness, many people continue to experience it in Canada's major cities. There are a number of barriers that prevent effective responses to homelessness, including a lack of agreement on the fundamental question: what is homelessness? In Multiple Barriers, Alison Smith explores the forces that shape intergovernmental and multilevel governance dynamics to help better understand why, despite the best efforts of community and advocacy groups, homelessness remains as persistent as ever. Drawing on nearly 100 interviews with key actors in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal, as well as extensive participant observation, Smith argues that institutional differences across cities interact with ideas regarding homelessness to contribute to very different models of governance.
