Urban Planet is a daily roundup of blogs from around the world dealing specifically with urban environments. We\u2019ll be on the lookout for websites outside the country that approach themes related to urban experiences and issues.<\/em><\/p>\n

Does ownership improve neighbourhood stability and civic engagement or does it interfere with the labour market?
