Landscapes of Despair: From Deinstitutionalization to Homelessness (Princeton Legacy Library, 823) - Hardcover
Michael Dear and Jennifer Wolch examine the emergence of urban ghettos of the socially dependent--an unforeseen "solution" to the problem of developing community-based care for a variety of service-dependent groups, including the mentally and physically disabled, ex-offenders, and addicts. Based on detailed case studies drawn from several cities in Canada and the United States, Landscapes of Despair is a comprehensive analysis of these ghettos.
Originally published in 1987.

Review:
"This book could offer a whole new meaning to the concept of 'geography awareness' that has been so enthusiastically embraced in recent years."---Christopher J. Smith, Economic Geography
"This is an easy book to praise and one that will repay close study.... A scrupulous and wise discussion, balancing equity and therapeutics, and one with immediate relevance to current problems."---Kim Hopper, Access
"A major contribution to the theoretical development of the literature on homelessness, especially as this literature explores the relationships of service dependency and the central city.... [It] pushes the current parameters of American planning for the service-dependent."---Robert W. Collin, Journal of the American Planning Association
