- Resilience has become one of the first fully-fledged academic and political buzzwords of the twenty-first century. Within this context, this book proposes a critically-engaged and conceptually-robust version, applying it to the conspicuous but now residual clusters of voluntary sector organizations deemed ‘service hubs’. The process of resilience is compared across ten service hubs in inner-city London, Los Angeles and Sydney in response to the threat of gentrification-induced displacement. The book shows that resilience can be about holding on to previous gains but also holding out for transformation. It contributes to literatures on the voluntary sector, resilience, comparative methods and neoliberalism.
