Description

Social Geography is about people and the communities which they create. With a focus on Prince George, this book is an exploration of how particular social issues work themselves into the changing and evolving fabric of our community. Prince George is an especially interesting community, as growth and development over the past 30 years has led to its becoming "B.C.'s Northern Capital". The eight chapters in this book cover the most commonly discussed social geography topics: population change, work and employment, housing, poverty and homelessness, gender issues, ethnicity, social services, and crime.
