Gentrifizierung ist das vermutlich größte Konfliktfeld der aktuellen Stadtentwicklungspolitik - denn Gentrifizierung bedeutet, dass ärmere Bevölkerungsgruppen von wohlhabenderen Schichten aus ihren Wohngebieten verdrängt werden. Obwohl diese Entwicklung offensichtlich ist, hat sich die deutsche und internationale Forschung bisher nur mit der baulich-sozialen Aufwertung von Quartieren beschäftigt. Die Folgen für die Verdrängten blieben bisher so gut wie unbeachtet. Wohin ziehen sie? Was bedeutet die Verdrängung aus dem angestammten Quartier für sie? Welche Bleibestrategien gibt es? Am Beispiel von Berlin, der deutschen »Hauptstadt der Gentrification«, gehen die Beiträge des Bandes diesen drängenden Fragen mit innovativen Methoden nach. »Dieser Band [ist] ein Muss für alle an dem Thema Interessierten. Er hat vor allem das politisch wichtige Verdienst, zur Differenzierung beizutragen.« Christian Diller, Raumforschung Raumordnung, 75 (2017) »Der Sammelband dient dazu, das Feld der Gentrifizierungsforschung in Berlin zu bereichern und auszudifferenzieren und zeigt, dass nicht nur etablierte Forscher_innen in der Lage sind, wertvolles Wissen zu erzeugen, das für die sozialen Stadtbewegungen von entscheidender Bedeutung sein kann.« Stefania Animento, sub/urban, 5, 1/2 (2017) »Fundiert und hochinteressant.« Sabine Rohlf, Berliner Zeitung, 25./26.02.2017 Das Buch [ist] lesenwert und bringt auch Erkenntnisse, die wohl nur durch eine an der Universität erfolgende systematische Betrachtung möglich sind.« Rainer Bohne, Planerin, 6 (2016) »Das Buch [gibt] interessante Einblicke in ein Thema, das Berlin wohl noch lange begleiten wird.« Jens Sethmann, MieterMagazin, 12 (2016) Besprochen in: Planerin, 5 (2016) Forum Wohnen und Stadtentwicklung, 6 (2016)

Manufactured Insecurity is the first book of its kind to provide an in-depth investigation of the social, legal, geospatial, and market forces that intersect to create housing insecurity for an entire class of low-income residents. Drawing on rich ethnographic data collected before, during, and after mobile home park closures and community-wide evictions in Florida and Texas-the two states with the largest mobile home populations-Manufactured Insecurity forces social scientists and policymakers to respond to a fundamental question: how do the poor access and retain secure housing in the face of widespread poverty, deepening inequality, and scarce legal protection? With important contributions to urban sociology, housing studies, planning, and public policy, the book provides a broader understanding of inequality and social welfare in the United States today.

From the colonial era to the present, the ever-shifting debate about America's prodigious population growth has exerted a profound influence on the evolution of politics, public policy, and economic thinking in the United States. In a remarkable shift since the late 1960s, Americans of all political stripes have come to celebrate the economic virtues of population growth. As one of the only wealthy countries experiencing significant population growth in the twenty-first century, the United States now finds itself at a demographic crossroads, but policymakers seem unwilling or unable to address the myriad economic and environmental questions surrounding this growth. From the founders' fears that crowded cities would produce corruption, luxury, and vice to the zero population growth movement of the late 1960s to today's widespread fears of an aging crisis as the Baby Boomers retire, the American population debate has always concerned much more than racial composition or resource exhaustion, the aspects of the debate usually emphasized by historians. In The State and the Stork, Derek Hoff draws on his extraordinary knowledge of the intersections between population and economic debates throughout American history to explain the many surprising ways that population anxieties have provoked unexpected policies and political developments-including the recent conservative revival. At once a fascinating history and a revelatory look at the deep origins of a crucial national conversation, The State and the Stork could not be timelier.

More than half a decade has passed since the bursting of the housing bubble and the collapse of Lehman Brothers. In retrospect, what is surprising is that these events and their consequences came as such a surprise. What was it that prevented most of the world from recognizing the impending crisis and, looking ahead, what needs to be done to prevent something similar? Measuring Wealth and Financial Intermediation and Their Links to the Real Economy identifies measurement problems associated with the financial crisis and improvements in measurement that may prevent future crises, taking account of the dynamism of the financial marketplace in which measures that once worked well become misleading. In addition to advances in measuring financial activity, the contributors also investigate the effects of the crisis on households and nonfinancial businesses. They show that households' experiences varied greatly and some even experienced gains in wealth, while nonfinancial businesses' lack of access to credit in the recession may have been a more important factor than the effects of policies stimulating demand.
