Globalization and Integrated Area Development in European Cities

Klappentext Contrary to common beliefs, economic globalization does not imply the end of social urban policy. This book argues that urban society and policy-makers have sufficient degrees of freedom available to decide on the social and economic future of deprived neighborhoods. Experiences from several European cities shwo that neighborhood-based redevelopment strategies offer a more promising future to urban populations than the global-market led slow movement that paralyzes urban policy today. Zusammenfassung The author seeks to rebut the argument that socio-economic prosperity in cities can only be achieved by global market-led policies. He argues that urban society and policy makers have sufficient freedom to make local decisions on the development of deprived neighbourhoods.
