Abstract

How has America's most expensive and progressive city helped its residents to live? Since the nineteenth century, the need for high-quality affordable housing has been one of New York City's most urgent issues. Affordable Housing in New York explores the past, present, and future of the city's pioneering efforts, from the 1920s to the major initiatives of Mayor Bill de Blasio. The book examines the people, places, and policies that have helped make New York livable, from early experiments by housing reformers and the innovative public-private solutions of the 1970s and 1980s to today's professionalized affordable housing industry. More than two dozen leading scholars tell the story of key figures of the era, including Fiorello LaGuardia, Robert Moses, Jane Jacobs, and Ed Koch. Over twenty-five individual housing complexes are profiled, including Queensbridge Houses, America's largest public housing complex; Stuyvesant Town; Co-op City; and recent additions like Via Verde.--Publisher description.

Abstract

A richly illustrated history of below-market housing in New York, from the 1920s to todayA colorful portrait of the people, places, and policies that have helped make New York City livable, Affordable Housing in New York is a comprehensive, authoritative, and richly illustrated history of the city's public and middle-income housing from the 1920s to today. Plans, models, archival photos, and newly commissioned portraits of buildings and tenants by sociologist and photographer David Schalliol put the efforts of the past century into context, and the book also looks ahead to future prospects for below-market subsidized housing. A dynamic account of an evolving city, Affordable Housing in New York is essential reading for understanding and advancing debates about how to enable future generations to call New York home.

Abstract

"The National Summer Learning Project, launched by the Wallace Foundation in 2011, includes an assessment of the effectiveness of voluntary, district-led summer learning programs offered at no cost to low-income, urban elementary students. The study, conducted by RAND, uses a randomized controlled trial and other analytic methods to assess the effects of district-led programs on academic achievement, social-emotional competencies, and behavior over the near and long term. All students in the study were in the third grade as of spring 2013 and enrolled in a public school in one of five urban districts: Boston; Dallas; Duval County, Florida; Pittsburgh; or Rochester, New York. The study follows these students from third to seventh grade; this report describes outcomes through fifth grade. The primary focus is on academic outcomes but students' social-emotional outcomes are also examined, as well as behavior and attendance during the school year. Among the key findings are that students with high attendance in one summer benefited in mathematics and that these benefits persisted through the following spring; students with high attendance in the second summer benefited in mathematics and language arts and in terms of social-emotional outcomes; and that high levels of academic time on task led to benefits that persisted in both mathematics and language arts"--Publisher's description

Abstract

En interrogeant les effets de l’intégration de l’impératif participatif dans la gestion du logement social, Jeanne Demoulin étudie les transformations produites par l’intégration de la participation dans les structures sociales. Après une mise en perspective historique des pratiques de gestion et des démarches participatives des organismes d’Habitation à Loyer Modéré (HLM), l’auteure analyse les pratiques actuelles des organismes à partir d’une enquête en immersion de trois ans au sein d’un organisme HLM et se penche en particulier sur les mécanismes de la concertation locative et du développement social, deux dispositifs phares de l’époque contemporaine.L’ouvrage permet ainsi d’enrichir la compréhension des dispositifs participatifs tout en proposant une lecture originale de la manière dont est géré le logement social aujourd’hui. Il vient en outre apporter des éclairages sur la gestion des organisations, le management, l’action sociale, les relations entre usagers et institutions et les effets de pratiques néolibérales sur les structures sociales.L’ouvrage intéressera tous ceux qui souhaitent enrichir leur réflexion sur ces sujets. Il interpellera notamment les chercheurs, enseignants et étudiants engagés dans ces domaines mais également les « participants », qu’ils soient citoyens, usagers ou habitants, ainsi que les acteurs des politiques publiques ayant des fonctions politiques ou opérationnelles (bailleurs sociaux, collectivités territoriales, cabinets de conseil…)
