“…Within this site, single-room accommodation, such as boarding or rooming houses or hotels, has been described as one step below rental housing, but the top of the hierarchy of accommodation used by the homeless (Neil et al, 1992).

The study compares residential ‘pathways’ into homelessness of a sample of 50 homeless people in inner city Sydney, in an attempt to see whether gender difference or schizophrenia is more important in the determination of mobility patterns leading in and out of homelessness. Three structural processes contributing to the present pattern of homelessness in inner Sydney are identified, providing the context for observed differences in residential histories leading to inner city homelessness. A hypothesis of the study is that women would be likely to experience different factors in the pathway to homelessness such as child raising or partnerships that may influence their residential history. However, after the breakdown of marriage, partnerships appear to play a minor role in the residential mobility of both schizophrenic women and men.

“…Many of the sales have been from working class owners to middle class owners providing the former with an opportunity to buy in the suburbs or to divert the equity elsewhere and the latter with a sometimes rapidly appreciating asset. Although Australian cities have high levels of home ownership in total, it is important to recognise that the private rental sector has maintained a large presence in the inner suburbs and sales from that sector to owner occupation have been significant, including of course sales of boarding and rooming houses (see, Centre for Urban Research and Action ( C U M ) 1979, and Badcock and Urlich-Cloher, 1980). The latter show that commercial and financial sector expansion has also resulted in the loss of boarding houses.…”

This article examines questions of explanation in urban geography throughconsideration of the gentrification process. Particular attention is given to the problems of 'structural' analyses and the need to develop alternative political economy perspectives.Questions related to the ways urban areas form and change are important aspects of contemporary urban geography. In recent years, concerns with the decline of the inner city, infrastructural decay and shifting social and racial balances have attracted considerable attention although it should be said that explanation of the processes at work remains a source of considerable contention. Despite this, it has become commonplace to state that we should view so-called urban processes in the context of wider social and economic forces and many analysts, whether liberal or radical, would rapidly concede the importance of the economic structure and structural change in such assessments (for example, see Hall, 1981; Johnston, 1980).A recognition of the importance of structure and the broader context is in itself uncontentious and a position many would claim to have adopted in their own work. Indeed, we have only to cast our minds back to what might be seen as the classical theories of urban structure, as exemplified by the Chicago School, to see that such work was very clearly directed towards an exploration of the impact ofeconomic development and rapid urban growth upon social groups in cities. While ecological analyses and much subsequent work, whether in the behavioural or institutional traditions, have clearly identified the distributional patterns present in urban areas, such as socio-economic groups, shopping facilities and housing, they have had much less success in developing acounts of the causal mechanisms underlying them. In that regard, recent contributions from marxist political economy perspectives have had profound impacts not only by providing cogent critiques of earlier conceptualisations but also with respect to the insights this work has offered into the nature of underlying mechanisms within the structure ofcapitalist society as a whole. In a sense this work, in its multiplicity of forms, has legitimised reference toThe Institute of Housing, 12, Upper Belgrave Street, London, SWlX 8BA.Australian Geographical Studies 22, April 1984.
