Table of ContentsReviewsUnhealthy Cities reminds social scientists that if we are interested in social inequalities by place, race, class, and age, we must attend to disparities in health outcomes. For health researchers this book is a cogent and comprehensive review of how sociological thinking can inform our work. --John R. Logan, Sociology, Brown University For many years Kevin Fitzpatrick and Mark LaGory have been arguing the case for an integrated place-based perspective on health, illness, and community life. Unhealthy Cities is their best joint work to date. The book is a must-read for both urbanists and medical sociologists. --Kent Schwirian, Sociology and Family Medicine, Ohio State University Unlike other contemporary authors who make 'place' equivalent to the people and groups that live in particular areas, Fitzpatrick and LaGory delve deeply into the tangible, multi-dimensional hazardous aspects of local areas that convey potential risks for individuals and subgroups in cities. --William Michelson, Sociology, University of Toronto Unhealthy Cities reminds social scientists that if we are interested in social inequalities by place, race, class, and age, we must attend to disparities in health outcomes.
