后福利中心城市的恢复力：伦敦、洛杉矶和悉尼的志愿部门地区

“韧性”已成为21世纪最早成熟的学术和政治流行语之一。在这种背景下，杰弗里·德弗泰尔（Geoffrey Deverteil）提出了一个更具批判性和概念性的版本，将其应用于被视为“服务中心”的著名但现在仍然存在的市中心志愿部门组织集群。在伦敦、洛杉矶和悉尼这三个复杂但不同的全球城市中心区域的十个服务中心，针对绅士化导致的流离失所的威胁，对恢复力的过程进行了比较。德弗泰尔表明，恢复力可以是保持以前的成果，也可以是坚持转型。这本书是第一本超越“弹性”理论著作的书，它提供了一种概念和实证相结合的方法，将引起城市地理学家、社会规划师和志愿部门研究人员的兴趣。

Resilience in the Post-Welfare Inner City: Voluntary Sector Geographies in London, Los Angeles and Sydney
‘Resilience’ has become one of the first fully fledged academic and political buzzwords of the 21st century. Within this context, Geoffrey DeVerteuil proposes a more critically engaged and conceptually robust version, applying it to the conspicuous but now residual clusters of inner-city voluntary sector organisations deemed ‘service hubs’. The process of resilience is compared across ten service hubs in three complex but different global inner-city regions – London, Los Angeles and Sydney – in response to the threat of gentrification-induced displacement. DeVerteuil shows that resilience can be about holding on to previous gains but also about holding out for transformation. The book is the first to move beyond theoretical works on ‘resilience’ and offers a combined conceptual and empirical approach that will interest urban geographers, social planners and researchers in the voluntary sector.
