Reviews
"A very useful book providing a comprehensive account of everyday experiences of people living in difficult circumstances. .. one of the selling points of this book is its qualitative addition, adding vigour and nuance, to existing quantitative evidence. The book provides a beneficial starting point for those wishing to understand how neighbourhoods function, but more importantly how families interact with their surroundings" Housing Studies
