Focusing on the issue of homelessness, this book examines its deep connection to the concept of the American city and public spaces. Through an extensive analysis, Don Mitchell presents a theory that links the historical and social factors contributing to homelessness with the workings of capital in urban environments. By revisiting three decades of research, he explores how the boundaries between public and private spaces have shaped societal attitudes and governance, ultimately shedding light on the enduring nature of homelessness in contemporary cities.
