Abstract
This article has three objectives: to integrate theoretical and empirical studies about the underclass and the ecological context of social problems, to demonstrate the applicability of this framework for understanding trends in urban poverty and for identifying patterns of internal resources in different types of neighborhoods, and to propose how this information establishes a rationale for complementary interventions on the part of community organizers committed to the social integration of marginalized communities.Keywords
