ESSAY QUESTIONS:
1. Imagine you are a policy advisor for a large, racially diverse metropolitan area (i.e. a city and its surroundings), whose neighborhoods are experiencing racial segregation. Based on the readings, how would you explain why segregation occurs? For example, what are the driving forces of segregation, and what are some �confounding� factors (i.e. those that seem to cause a phenomenon but actually do not)? And what are the potential effects of such segregation, if any, and what can we do about them? What policy advice would you give to address the problems?
2. Among theories of urban politics and economy, which theory (or theories) has (have) the most explanatory power for what is going on in New York City? Conversely, which theory has the least applicability? In answering the question, you may specify which aspects of the city�s politics and economy (e.g., election, economic inequality, residential segregation, etc.) you are talking about.
