Scenario planning for cities and regions: Managing and envisioning uncertain futures, by Robert Goodspeed
Abstrak
even young men experiencing stagnation in the labor market expressed optimism that they could achieve upward mobility through hard work and perseverance (Chapter 7). Stagnant Dreamers is beautifully written. It will be of interest to social scientists who study migration, transitions to adulthood, urban violence, and neighborhood effects. At 250 pages, the book is probably too long for most undergraduate classes, but selected chapters would be suitable for course adoption. For example, students enrolled in a qualitative methods course would benefit from reading its thoughtful appendix, which addresses study design, positionality, and ethical dilemmas in the field. At the graduate level, this book would be appropriate for courses on immigration, poverty and inequality, urban and community sociology, and education. The book’s policy recommendations will be familiar to scholars of urban and community development, as they include alleviating poverty, improving the social conditions of urban neighborhoods, and supporting robust community infrastructure. The book serves as a vivid reminder that community organizations have the power to strengthen social capital, reduce social isolation, and offer young people skills, personal development, and opportunity.
