Description

Social Work and the City: Urban Themes in 21st-Century Social Work offers a deep look at how urban environments impact the social work profession. This book explores how the scale, density, and rapid pace of change in modern cities create new challenges for practitioners. By examining various disciplines, the text provides a clear view of how social work responds to the shifting landscape of urban life. Readers will gain insight into the specific issues facing city dwellers today. The book addresses the effects of increased segregation of the poor, the ongoing crisis of affordable housing, and the realities of homelessness. It also looks at how gentrification, ageing populations, and displacement from migration change the way communities function. This resource is designed to help professionals understand the breakdown of social support and care systems in urban settings. It provides practical illustrations of how social work responses adapt to these complex metropolitan issues. It is an essential read for those studying the intersection of sociology, anthropology, and social practice in a modern context.
