Related Theories in Urban Sociology
When one of Robert Park’s (Sociology theorist) students studied the relationship between the high-rent Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago and a nearby slum, he pointed out that a symbiotic relationship existed between the two areas. Each neighborhood gained something from the proximity of the other: the poor residents of the slum obtained jobs as maids and handymen in Gold Coast households, and the wealthy Gold Coast residents had access to illegal alcohol, drugs and prostitution they wanted-but wanted to keep out of their neighborhood.
Description of Urban Neighborhood Comparative Analysis
For your research paper you are required to complete a similar yet more detailed study. You are required to conduct a comparative analysis of two neighborhoods within the same city or borough based on the following criteria: 1). race/ethnicity of the city (who lives in the neighborhoods, what their professions are, and the highest level of educational attainment and annual income) (2) Political-economic, structure (how the laws effect the economic and social life of its residents); (3) Social stratification poverty/wealth educational attainment school performance (as it relates to property value); (4). Employment/unemployment rate as it relates to crime rates and the mental health of its residents; (5) Suggestions for creating a more equitable share of the resources, wealth and quality of life between the two neighborhoods.
