Klappentext Many policies in Western European countries and the US aim to counter spatial concentrations of deprivation and create more socio-economically mixed residential areas. Such policies are founded on the belief that neighbourhoods have a effect upon the well-being of individuals. This book intends to contribute to this policy-relevant discussion. Zusammenfassung This book presents new scholarship from many countries that rigorously quantifies various sorts of neighbourhood effects through the use of cutting-edge social scientific techniques. It thereby advances science in several disciplines and contributes to contemporary policy discussions related to neighbourhood social mix. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
