Lost in space

"Randall Amster explores homelessness as both a social and spatial problem. Homeless people are on the front lines of a struggle to preserve places that are theoretically open to anyone regardless of status. Urban spaces in particular manifest a complex ecology comprised of people, culture, architecture, technology, and the natural environment, expressed through gentrification, redevelopment, and privatization. In this ecology, homeless people are criminalized for performing basic activities such as sitting or sleeping. These trends are evident across the U.S. and internationally, linking local issues with wider forces of globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
