Description

This critical examination explores the intersection of urban life and social work practice in the modern era. The book draws on multiple disciplines to analyse how cities shape social work responses to contemporary challenges including housing crises, homelessness, gentrification, ageing populations, and migration-driven displacement. Through practical examples and case studies, it illustrates how social workers navigate the unprecedented scale, density and pace of change in urban environments. The text addresses key issues facing the profession today: increased poverty segregation, breakdown of traditional social support systems, and the complexities of care provision in densely populated areas. Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this resource provides essential insights for social work students, practitioners and academics seeking to understand urban social work practice and develop responses to emerging city-based challenges.
