Origins of the Dual City

"Chicago is celebrated for its rich diversity, but, even more than most US cities, it is also plagued by segregation and extreme inequality...In this book, [the author] reveals that today's tacit acceptance of rising urban inequality is a marked departure from the past. For much of the twentieth century, a key goal for civic leaders was the total elimination of slums and blight. Yet over time, as anti-slum efforts faltered, leaders shifted the focus of their initiatives away from low-income areas and toward the upgrading of neighborhoods with greater economic promise."--back cover.
