The Unintended Consequences

"The Unintended Consequences describes the tremendous impact of housing policy, which often discourages communities from growing and inhibits family stability. James and Peter Banks trace housing history from the Victorian era in London to the present day, giving special attention to Washington, D.C., and presenting various grassroots programs that provide community support in severely impoverished areas." "This book also gives firsthand accounts of federal urban initiatives and explains the importance of nurturing community. A blend of historical analysis and firsthand interviews with public housing residents and officials, The Unintended Consequences is appropriate for urban planners, policy makers, advocates for the urban poor, students of sociology and urban studies, and anyone interested in the local history of the nation's capitol."--BOOK JACKET.
