Youth and exclusion in disadvantaged urban areas: policy approaches in six European cities (Trends in social cohesion series No. 9) (2004)

This ninth volume in the series follows on from Volume 8, looking in more depth at the "integration" of young people in disadvantaged urban areas. A comparative analysis of "difficult" neighbourhoods in six (east and west) European cities and a detailed study of a special project conducted in the Spanish districts of Naples highlight that only co-ordinated multi-agency efforts, combined with innovative approaches adapted to the specific context, can restore dignity to the younger members of such communities and enable them to build a life project.
