From the reviews: "This volume is the first in a forthcoming trilogy of edited books on the effects of neighbourhood on urban populations. ... there is much in the book that rewards a close reading, and the chapters and their references are an excellent source for current research-a great place to send PhD students thinking about undertaking research on neighbourhoods. ... the book serves a valuable purpose for everyone interested in neighbourhood research and neighbourhood effects." (William Clark, Population Studies, Vol. 67 (1), 2013)
