Description: While "city life" can be exciting, its problems can be challenging for families and children, particularly when they are members of minority groups. In Children and Youth, an interdisciplinary team of researchers examine the positive and problematic circumstances that confront children and youth living in cities and identify the best research-based solutions for improving or enhancing those circumstances.
