Abstract
This book provides, in a single volume, a review of the findings of the largest ever programme of cities research in the UK, the Economic and Social Research Council's 'Cities: Competitiveness and Cohesion programme'. Leading experts present the findings of this wide-ranging programme organised around themes of competitiveness, social cohesion and the role of policy and governance.
The book:
develops our understanding of key processes, issues and concepts critical to cities and urban change;
examines a large body of evidence on a wide range of policy issues at the heart of current debates about the performance of cities and the prospects for urban renaissance.
·
City matters is essential reading for all policy makers, practitioners, analysts and academics with an interest or involvement in urban issues.
