Overview

This text presents a study of Baltimore's continuing economic stagnation, offering an assessment of its causes and possible solutions. The author argues that the region's future depends on successful efforts to alleviate the concentration of poor African American households in the central city. The book proposes a ""fair share"" housing development programme to make housing in all parts of Baltimore and the six surrounding counties available to residents of the city who wish to relocate. The ultimate goal being a region of economically, ethnically and racially diverse - as well as stable - neighbourhoods.
