This research will undertake comparative ethnographic investigations of the homeless in Los Angeles, Paris, Sao Paulo, and Tokyo using local research teams. The long range goal is to explore why homelessness emerged in each of these global cities at similar times in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Descriptions of street life will look for similarities and differences across the four cities: Who constitute the homeless: how do their age, gender, racial-ethnic, educational, disability, and work statuses distinguish them from the domiciled? What are the survival strategies of the homeless? How do they account for their homelessness? What have been the political responses to the emergence of homelessness? The research teams will each explore these questions in their own cities and meet for comparative analyses in Sao Paulo.

这项研究将利用当地研究团队对洛杉矶、巴黎、圣保罗和东京的无家可归者进行比较人种学调查。 长期目标是探索为什么在二十世纪最后二十五年的相似时间，这些全球城市都出现了无家可归的现象。 对街头生活的描述将寻找四个城市之间的相似点和差异：谁构成了无家可归者：他们的年龄、性别、种族、教育、残疾和工作状况如何将他们与有住所的人区分开来？ 无家可归者的生存策略是什么？ 他们如何解释自己无家可归的情况？ 对无家可归现象的出现有何政治反应？ 研究团队将各自在自己的城市探索这些问题，并在圣保罗进行比较分析。
