Urban segregation is one of the main challenges facing urban development around the globe. The usual outcome of many urban development patterns is an unequal social geography; with the urban poor living in large clusters that are remote; isolated; dangerous or unhealthy. The result is inequality in a number of dimensions of urban life; from deficient urban access; services or infrastructure to social isolation; neighbourhood violence; and lack of economic opportunity.This book brings together debates on ethnic and economic segregation; combining theory and practical solutions to create a guide for those trying to understand and address urban segregation in any part of the world; and integrate ameliorating policies to contemporary urban development agendas.

A lively and very smart bookBy Susan AlexanderIn My Fair Ladies; art-historian/painter/ professor Julie Wosk has given us a brilliant history of artificial (read "man-made") women; along with her insightful commentary into this fascinating phenomenon.Beginning with a lively discussion of the Pygmalion myth first created in ancient Greece; a myth that has evolved over the centuries into many different versions; including the play by George Bernard Shaw and musical theaters My Fair Lady; Wosks book moves swiftly through literature; movies; TV; art; robotics; and photography.Richly illustrated with photographs; art; and scenes from movies and television; the book includes Wosks clever commentary on the apparently unending male desire to create artificial--even robotic--women.My Fair Ladies presents an extraordinary cavalcade of "artificial evesrdquo; in this lively and very smart book.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
