Most European cities have experienced problems in certain neighbourhoods that are termed \u003cem\u003edeprived\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eexcluded\u003c\/em\u003e. Traditionally these were found in the oldest urban areas with lowest quality housing, but since the 1980s, such areas have emerged in housing estates built around the cities' edges. These neighbourhoods are marked by visible physical and social problems that disfigure the otherwise pleasant urban landscape, and can be seen as \u003cem\u003eurban sores\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis engaging and thought-provoking book provides a deeper understanding of why urban decay and deprived neighbourhoods appear in certain parts of cities, as well as how they affect residents and cities in general.
