Inhaltsangabe

The Vancouver neighborhood house movement began in 1894 and since then has sought to create spaces for community building in the increasingly fragmented urban environment. Local activists established these community hubs to provide mutual aid to old and new neighbors alike, including childcare, literacy classes, and medical services. Drawing on a five-year study of the Vancouver network, Neighbourhood Houses demonstrates that place-based community organizations offer an antidote to disconnection in modern urban cities.
