To what degree does your neighbor's success influence your own potential? The importance of place is increasingly recognized in urban research as an important variable in understanding individual and household outcomes. Place matters in education, physical health, crime, violence, housing, family income, mental health, and discrimination-issues that determine the quality of life, especially among low-income residents of urban areas.Neighborhood and Life Chances: How Place Matters in Modern America brings together researchers from a range of disciplines to present the findings of studies in the fields of education, health, and housing. The results are intriguing and surprising, particularly the debate over Moving to Opportunity, an experiment conducted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, designed to test directly the effects of relocating individuals away from areas of concentrated poverty. Its results, while strong in some respects, showed very different outcomes for boys and girls, with girls more likely than boys to experience positive outcomes. Reviews of the literature in education and health, supplemented by new research, demonstrate that the problems associated with residing in a negative environment are indisputable, but also suggest the directions in which solutions may lie.The essays collected in this volume give readers a clear sense of the magnitude of contemporary challenges in metropolitan America and of the role that place plays in reinforcing them. Although the contributors suggest many practical immediate interventions, they also recognize the vital importance of continued long-term efforts to rectify place-based limitations on lifetime opportunities. 606 $aCities and towns$zUnited States 606 $aNeighborhoods$zUnited States 606 $aPlace (Philosophy) 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aPublic Policy. 610 $aSociology. 610 $aUrban Studies. 615 0$aCities and towns 615 0$aNeighborhoods 615 0$aPlace (Philosophy) 676 $a261.70973/09045 702 $aBirch$b Eugenie L. 702 $aNewburger$b Harriet B. 702 $aWachter$b Susan M. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808674503321 996 $aNeighborhood and Life Chances$94118166 997 $aUNINA
