Social equity in urban development: strategy and case studies

The demographic pressure caused by migration offers a considerable challenge for urban centers today. It results in an uneven development of the communityand focus of urban planners becomes how to provide decent, low-cost housing and transportation in order to facilitate the integration of poorer residents among the rest of the community. In large industrialized countries such as theUnited States and Germany, the challenges of urban policy-makers are made even more complicated since these governments depend on state or federal legislators to obtain the massive amounts of funding required for adequately addressing these local issues that are in global cause. The book will discuss a unique experience in applying social equity in urban development in the German city of Leipzig and the different approach to redevelopment taken by the city of Miami, Florida.
