City survivors

City survivors by Anne Power

This book provides a unique insider view on the impact of neighbourhood conditions on family life and explores the prospects for families from the point of view of equality, integration, schools, work, community, regeneration and public services.

"Anne Power's illuminating and important book bears witness to the lives of urban families, without whose presence all cities would wither and declineThe parents she interviews describe in detail how noisy, messy, often unsafe environments inform every decision they make about their lives and those of their children. If Power's recommendations, based on interviews with 200 'city survivors', are heeded, families may no longer have to 'survive' the city, but instead will thrive in it." Lynsey Hanley, author of 'Estates: An Intimate History'
"..the real strength of this book is its capacity to allow the words of the residents of deprived neighbourhoods to shine through." Urban Geography Research Group, urban-geography.org.uk 2008
