Publisher Synopsis
"Urban Regeneration in the UK is an excellent addition to the available texts on urban regeneration. It is well written and easy to read which makes it appropriate for both students and practitioners alike. It provides a comprehensive introduction to urban regeneration policy and history and discusses a varied range of situations and case studies." Dr Ruth Richards, London South Bank University, UK "This is a clearly accessible guide to national and local regeneration strategies over the past half century. It provides an excellent critique of the trends and fashions in national policy-making while also offering a series of case studies of how different cities and regions have responded to changing economic and social fortunes. This will be an essential read for the student of urban policy as well as providing theoretical and practical insights of direct relevance to the practitioners and politicians who manage our towns and cities." Professor Nick Bailey, University of Westminster, UK Read more...
