Book excerpt: The main social and economic problems of city centers are caused by poor quality housing, an inadequate employment structure that provides only the lowest and highest paying jobs and in many cases a declining population. Unemployment is high among younger adults and there is a high proportion of aged living in retirement on small fixed incomes. The city center tends to provide housing only for the very poor or the very rich, while the middle-class population must commute from outlying areas. This newsletter offers a collection of articles from foreign publications addressing this problem.
