Ronald R. Sundstrom. Just shelter : gentrification, integration, race, and reconstruction. Oxford University Press, [2024]; ©2024. ISBN:9780190948146; 9780190948160; 0190948167; 9780190948177; 0190948175; 9780190948153; 0190948159
"Just Shelter: Gentrification, Integration, Race, and Reconstruction is a work of political philosophy that examines the core injustices of the contemporary U.S. housing crisis and its relation to enduring racial injustices. It posits that what is required to achieve justice in social-spatial arrangements - what is otherwise called "spatial justice" - is to prioritize, in the crafting and enforcement of housing policy: individual moral equality and liberty, distributive justice; equal citizenship; and, due to history and continuing practice and effects of racial discrimination in housing policy and the housing market in the United States, corrective justice in the form of rectification programs to address the history of racism in housing policy should be implemented by local, state, and federal governments. To arrive at and illustrate this conclusion, it investigates aspects of the housing crisis closely related to the history of American racial injustice, such as gentrification, segregation, desegregation, integration, and, to a lesser extent, homelessness, and offers liberal reforms gestures toward a view broad view of justice that is reconstructive"--

The projects : a new history of public housing / Howard A. Husock

Howard A. Husock. The projects : a new history of public housing. New York University Press, [2025]. ISBN:9781479828432; 1479828432
"The Projects tells the story of the history of the idea of public housing and how it was implemented. In contrast to other books, it combines an intellectual history with the history of how an idea transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns, at first seemingly for the better but, over time, for the worse"-- Provided by publisher; "As the US struggles to provide affordable housing, millions of Americans live in deteriorating public housing projects, enduring the mistakes of past housing policy. In The Projects, Howard A. Husock explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. From First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to the controversial city planner Robert Moses, many well-known historical figures made a convincing case for affordable housing in America. Despite the movement's lofty ideals, the creation of the Projects led to the destruction of low-income communities across the country. From the Hill District in Pittsburgh to Black Bottom in Detroit, predominantly Black neighborhoods were judged only by the quality of their housing. Husock looks beyond these neighborhoods' physical conditions to their uncounted riches, from local artists like August Wilson to vital community institutions. As he shares residents' stories, he honors what they crafted through their own plans, rather than those of city planners. Husock traces the history of public housing to contemporary debates on the government's role in the housing market. Through interviews with residents, he reveals how public housing transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns. He ultimately critiques 'repair and reform' efforts, making policy recommendations that address the core failings of public housing for the people it was once designed to help. Mapping out a better path for policy-makers, he lays a new foundation for upward mobility in America." --

By integrating social, economic, intellectual, and cultural histories, this illuminating work shows how powerful forces have both reflected and catalyzed shifts in the way Americans conceptualize what a house is for, in an era that has laid bare the larger structures and inequities of the economy"

The sociology of housing : how homes shape our social lives / edited by Brian J. McCabe and Eva Rosen

edited by Brian J. McCabe and Eva Rosen. The sociology of housing : how homes shape our social lives. The University of Chicago Press; The University of Chicago Press, 2023. ISBN:9780226828510; 9780226828534
"In 1947, the president of the American Sociological Association, Louis Wirth, argued for the importance of housing as a field of sociological research. It may come as a surprise, then, to learn that the field has yet to be established. Instead, efforts to understand the place of housing in society have been largely subsumed within other disciplines, such as economics and urban planning. Over time, it has only become clearer how central a role housing plays in structuring our lives, from long-standing discriminatory lending practices that determine who can own a home and where, to unequal eviction practices, on up to the 2008 financial crisis and the decimation of the American housing market. With the collection of essays in this book, the editors and contributors propose to solidify the place of housing studies as a distinct subfield within the discipline of sociology, showing that housing is both an important element of multiple sociological subfields and a significant component of social life deserving of dedicated attention as a distinct area of research. The volume will take stock of the current field of scholarship and provide new directions for the sociological study of housing. The contributors showcase the very best traditions of sociology-they draw on diverse methodological approaches, present unique field sites and data sources, and foreground sociological theory to understanding contemporary housing issues. As a whole, the volume generates promising directions for the sociological analysis of housing and makes an argument for the official establishment of the subfield"--

Neighborhood defenders : participatory politics and America's housing crisis / Katherine Levine Einstein, David M. Glick, Maxwell Palmer

"Since the collapse of the housing market in 2008, demand for housing has consistently outpaced supply in many US communities. The failure to construct sufficient housing -- especially affordable housing -- in desirable communities and neighborhoods comes with significant social, economic, and environmental costs. This book examines how local participatory land use institutions amplify the power of entrenched interests and privileged homeowners. The book draws on sweeping data to examine the dominance of land use politics by 'neighborhood defenders' -- individuals who oppose new housing projects far more strongly than their broader communities and who are likely to be privileged on a variety of dimensions. Neighborhood defenders participate disproportionately and take advantage of land use regulations to restrict the construction of multifamily housing. The result is diminished housing stock and higher housing costs, with participatory institutions perversely reproducing inequality."--
