Environment and Planning B ... an excellent summary of the issues, debates and dilemmas surrounding neighbourhood renewal and decline. Urban Studies ... deserves to be widely read for its comprehensive and subtle treatment of neighbourhoods and neighbourhood policy. For the wider research project, it provides an immensely solid foundation on which to build. Housing Studies This book provides a fascinating account of how the socio-spatial divisions which characterised urban Britain at the turn of the 21st century are being produced, reinforced and, in some cases, mitigated both by rapid social and economic change and policy interventions.
