{"product_id":"segregation-by-design-catalina-freixas-9783319729558","title":"Segregation by Design: Conversations and Calls for Action in St. Louis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book discusses racial segregation in American cities. Using St. Louis as a point of departure, it examines the causes and consequences of residential segregation, and proposes potential mitigation strategies. While an introduction, timeline and historical overview frame the subject, nine topic-specific conversations - between invited academics, policy makers and urban professionals - provide the main structure. Each of these conversations is contextualized by a photograph, an editors' note and an essay written by a respected current or former St. Louisan. The essayists respond to the conversations by speaking to the impacts of segregation and by suggesting innovative policy and design tactics from their professional or academic perspective. The purpose of the book, therefore, is not to provide original research on residential segregation, but rather to offer a unique collection of insightful, transdisciplinary reflections on the experience of segregation in America and how it might be addressed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catalina Freixas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319729551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319729558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.40w x 1.60d","brand":"Catalina Freixas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089105694975,"sku":"9783319729558","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96bea027-11c9-465a-bdad-26292a565785.jpg?v=1769108217","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/segregation-by-design-catalina-freixas-9783319729558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
