The Pointillistic City How Microspatial Inequities Affect Well-Being in Our Communities, and What We Can Do about It

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】

A new paradigm of research, policy, and practice that acknowledges the multiple scales at which we live every day. The Pointillistic City explores the multilayer geography of our daily livesーspecifically, how we simultaneously live at the scales of addresses, streets, and neighborhoods and how each can be relevant for our well-being. Not unlike the way in which we look at a pointillistic painting, which depicts a full scene through the detailed organization of multiple objects, Daniel O’Brien considers the three scales together and the comprehensive understanding of the city they offer. The pointillistic approach to the city contrasts with decades of focus on neighborhoods. As such, it surfaces microspatial inequities, or disparities in experiences between people living in the same neighborhood, even right around the corner from each other. Microspatial inequities have gone largely unnoticed to date, and their recognition offers a new approach to understanding and supporting the diverse population of the city. This book illustrates the pointillistic perspective on cities with two in-depth case studiesーone on crime, the other on environmental justiceーin Boston. These studies highlight microspatial inequities and their interplay with broader neighborhood conditions, and they go even further by demonstrating how these insights can be incorporated into a new generation of policies and practices that are science driven and community led, truly addressing disparities both between and within our communities.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
