Abstract
The US literature has produced more studies and thus more data on urban poverty areas. With respect to theory, the volume edited by Lynn & McGeary (1990) and the work of Wilson (1987) has been of great influence. The latter has been the basis of much work in Europe, such as the studies by Wacquant (1993) and Friedrichs (1998a). This paper will briefly review the similarities and differences between the US and the European findings.Keywords
