Features: This is a research-based book that takes a "field trip" through various neighborhoods in the United States—suburban and urban, black and white, wealthy and poor. As a checklist of diverse neighborhood environments, this manual is constructed around the working definition of neighborhood types people recognize. It integrates much of the recent sociological research on neighborhoods into a complex classification, systematically combining the composition of neighborhoods with the important functions they perform for residents.
