Abstract

The social division of our cities is driven to a significant extent by selection effects in the education system. Low levels of income and education, dependency on transfer income, poor health (defined in psychosocial terms) and deviant social behaviour can always occur separately within society. However, multiple forms of deprivation are now increasingly found in one person or one place: entire “dropout” neighbourhoods. To battle these persistant, chronic problems, local governments are increasingly turning to municipally coordinated educational landscapes and chains of prevention. This chapter sheds light on the social function of such approaches and describes the conditions in they can succeed. The defined target is the perspective of integrated urban/district development planning.
