""... a major contribution to our evidence base on urban regeneration. Lupton makes a powerful case for greater recognition of the differing contexts of deprived neighbourhoods and the extent to which these enable or constrain policy outcomes. It is to be hoped that policy makers both nationally and locally will think hard about what this book has to say."" Professor Mike Geddes, The Local Government Centre, University of Warwick
