Transforming Race and Class in Suburbia examines the social and economic decline of older, first-tier suburbs in the built environment, and then reflects on the role of public policy and planning for revitalization.

Peer Reviews of Transforming Race and Class in Suburbia

"Vicino masterfully provides a comprehensive analysis of the decline of first-tier suburbs of Baltimore ... providing important lessons for other metropolitan areas with similar patterns of decline."

--Professor Dennis Keating, Cleveland State University
Author of Suburban Racial Dilemma (Temple University Press, 1994)


"This is the most sophisiticated study yet of first-tier suburban decline. His book will be indispensable for anyone who wants to understand the rapidly changing suburban landscape."

--Professor Todd Swanstrom, St. Louis University
Co-Author of Place Matters (University Press of Kansas, 2004)
