Like many industrialized regions, the Philadelphia metro area contains pockets of environmental degradation. However, other neighbourhoods within and around the city are relatively pristine. This eye-opening book reveals that such environmental inequalities did not occur by chance, but were instead the result of specific policy decisions that served to exacerbate endemic classism and racism.
