Abstract
The focus of this Chapter is on understanding the persistence and change of neighborhoods in terms of the environment of which they are a part. We will argue that neighborhoods are best analyzed within an environment conceptualized as a political economy. Within that political economy, the stream of capital that flows within and among cities is taken as a primary force shaping communities.
