Abstract
Recent studies of urban life have called attention to the importance of residential neighborhoods to the revitalization of older core cities. Little attention has been given, however, to the differences between viable neighborhoods and areas without social definition. On the basis of a review of previous studies of neighborhoods, I establish criteria for the viability of working class and low income neighborhoods in older core cities. A set of propositions for comparative research is presented.Keywords
