Clark, University of California, Los Angeles, US ‘Neighborhoods matter! Drawing on a long career of urban scholarship, this book by Bill Clark provides a fascinating review of the social science on neighborhoods: how they emerge and change, how people sort into them, and why this matters for social mobility, health, general wellbeing, and society as a whole. In the face of concern that work-from-home will reshape urban life, Rethinking Neighborhoods: Connections and Cohesion shows how neighborhoods have and will continue to be an extremely important geography for understanding society.’ – Paavo Monkkonen, University of California, Los Angeles, US May 2024 236 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 0793 7 £90.00 / $130.00 eBook • Elgaronline Rethinking Urban and Regional Studies series The Fate of Social Modernity Western Europe and Organised Welfare Provision in Challenging Times Ingo Bode, University of Kassel, Germany ‘This highly ambitious monograph is a must read.
