Description:

With urban poverty rising, the homeless and other 'disorderly' people continue to occupy public space in many American cities. Drawing upon an extensive body of data, the authors chart the rise of banishment in Seattle, a city on the leading edge of this trend, to establish how it works and explore its ramifications.
