Together they bring an array of government nonprofit and academic perspectives to offer a truly global perspective. The authors answer essential questions about the nature and causes of homelessness and analyze how cities have used innovation and local political coordination to address this pervasive problem. Ten Global Cities will be an invaluable resource not only for students of policy and social work but for municipal regional and national policymakers; nonprofit service providers; community advocates and activists; and all citizens who want to collaborate for real change.
