In this pathbreaking collection multidisciplinary scholars probe critical aspects of racism and classism shaping urban quality-of-life, from suburban sprawl to environmental toxins and poverties in inner cities. Viewing metropolitan inequalities as intentional, these savvy analysts detail the deep impacts of racial/class discrimination on urban peoples and their built-up ecologies. They look beyond clichts of 'smart growth' to problematize built environments as social-justice issues not to be left to media pundits and politicians, but for concerned citizens to strategize around in generating coalitions for change
