The Case for Intervention in Middle Neighborhoods

George Galster ()

Community Development Innovation Review, 2016, issue 01, 008-020

Abstract: As compared with places that are gentrifying or experiencing concentrated disadvantage, middle neighborhoods have been largely ignored by urban scholars and planners. This oversight must be rectified because middle neighborhoods play a vital role in the overall health of a city and in the well-being of its poorest citizens, even if they do not live in them. This chapter establishes a rationale for why scholars and policymakers should seriously consider middle neighborhoods as a locus of potential policy innovation and intervention.
