Taking the example of York Region, a large outer suburb north of Toronto, the authors provide a spatial analysis that illuminates the invisible geography of vulnerability in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume examines access to social services by vulnerable groups who are not usually associated with the suburbs: recent immigrants, seniors, and low-income families. Investigating their access to four types of social infrastructure - education, employment, housing, and settlement services - this book presents a range of policy recommendations for how to address the social inequalities that characterize contemporary outer suburbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucia Lo,Valerie Preston,Paul Anisef\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442650249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442650244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Lucia Lo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453636227327,"sku":"9781442650244","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf35cc95-b409-4dca-bd0c-61646da9ea8d.jpg?v=1777301335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-infrastructure-and-vulnerability-in-lucia-lo-9781442650244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
