Summary
"...Offers a critical appraisal of different ways that the concept of 'social mix' has been constructed historically in urban planning and housing policy, including linking to 'social inclusion'. It investigates why social mix policies re-emerge as a popular policy tool at certain times. It also challenges the contemporary consensus in housing and urban planning policies that social mix is an optimum planning tool..."--Back cover.
