Urban Decay Realities

The book argues that urban decay is not accidental but rather a consequence of deliberate policy choices and systemic inequalities. By presenting historical context and examining discriminatory housing policies, the book challenges conventional narratives that often blame residents or market forces. Each chapter builds upon this argument, using case studies and empirical analysis to highlight the connections between infrastructure, housing, and community investment.

The book concludes by offering potential solutions and strategies, emphasizing the importance of community-led initiatives and equitable resource allocation for successful urban revitalization.
