New horizons in British urban policy

"New Horizons in British Urban Policy provides the first, integrated, cross-disciplinary analysis of the urban renaissance project pursued by the Labour government since 1997. Drawing upon the collective insights of urban policy researchers with wide-ranging expertise, the book presents a critical assessment of New Labour's attempts to reinvent British cities as affluent, safe, vibrant and attractive places to live and work. The book utilises a range of theoretical perspectives to reveal important contradictions within the urban renaissance vision."--Jacket.
