"While income inequality has received much attention from scholars and the media, the profound impact of geography on inequality has not been explored deeply. This volume brings together an impressive collection of essays that create a nuanced map of inequality in America and point toward solutions." (Raphael Bostic, Sol Price School of Public Policy, University of Southern California) "Missing in the national dialogue about income equality is the role that cities have traditionally fulfilled as building blocks for opportunity and indeed must fulfill going forward. Susan Wachter and Lei Ding have assembled a group of respected scholars who advance important ideas about how schools, cities, and metropolitan areas can strengthen our national quest for social and economic progress." (Henry Cisneros, City View) "An important contribution to the conversation about urban inequality. The essays collected by Susan M. Wachter and Lei Ding tackle issues such as intergenerational mobility, racial and socioeconomic segregation, active labor market policy, and strategic urban renewal efforts with balance and rigor." (Steven Raphael, University of California, Berkeley) "Wachter and Ding have assembled a dazzling collection of contributors to explore the intersection of inequality and place. This volume makes clear that policy cannot ignore geography-the future of opportunity in America begins at the neighborhood level. I encourage scholars, policymakers, and the interested public worried about increasing inequality to take advantage of the many insights this collection offers." (Sarah Rosen Wartell, The Urban Institute) "The country is riven by social and economic inequality. This book explains why mending this rift must take place community by community and provides the research and analysis to make this happen." (Marc Morial, National Urban League)
