The geography of metropolitan opportunity: A reconnaissance and conceptual framework

Abstract: We present a conceptual framework for metropolitan opportunity and a model of individual decision making about issues affecting youth's future socioeconomic status. Decision making and its geographic context have objective and subjective aspects. Objective spatial variations occur in the metropolitan opportunity structure-social systems, markets, and institutions that aid upward mobility. Decisions are based on the decision-maker's values, aspirations, preferences, and subjective perceptions of possible outcom… Show more

“…Living in a stigmatized neighbourhood has been found to have a negative influence on the residents' job opportunities (Bauder, 2002;Wilson, 1996) and self-esteem (Taylor, 1998). It has also been suggested that neighbourhood reputations can have an effect on the behaviour of residents, who may adjust their social actions (within and outside their neighbourhood) in accordance with the area's ill repute among outsiders (see for example Galster and Killen, 1995). People take neighbourhood reputations into account when making their choices of where to live, to work or to locate a business (Wacquant, 1993).…”

“…la ciudad (Galster & Killen, 1995;Wormald, 2007). El efecto barrio, consistente en el traspaso hacia los individuos de las características comunes del barrio (Flores, 2006), se materializaría principalmente mediante las redes sociales locales, tales como el efecto pares ( Jencks & Mayer, 1990), la socialización colectiva (Wilson, 1987) y la socialización institucional (Bauder, 2001).…”

“…Las políticas de mixtura social a nivel de barrios han emergido en distintos momentos de la historia (Arthurson, 2012): en la Gran Bretaña del siglo xix, basadas en visiones utópicas de reunificación; después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, sustentadas en ideales de igualdad; y recientemente, orientadas a abordar los problemas sociales de la concentración de la pobreza (política que se está expandiendo en varios contextos neoliberales). Aquí se sostiene que cuatro ideas han servido de soporte para las políticas recientes de mezcla social: i) la representación de los guetos como formas sociales patológicas (Jargowsky, 1997;Massey & Denton, 1993;Wilson, 1987); ii) el vínculo entre concentración de la pobreza y problemas sociales, o "efectos de barrio" (Sampson et al, 2002); iii) la sugerencia implícita de que geografías de oportunidad siguen a los grupos de más alto estatus y luego "chorrean" al resto (Galster & Killen, 1995), y iv) los supuestos de que los barrios socialmente mixtos crearían un círculo virtuoso de redes sociales, control social y comportamientos ejemplares (DeFilippis & Fraser, 2010).…”
