With an ever increasing proportion of the world's population
inhabiting urban environments, the management of cities remains a
perennial challenge for governments and policymakers. This concise,
but wide-ranging text makes sense of the multiple ways in which
urban issues and problems have been defined and addressed in
different places at different times. From initiatives that focus on
social tensions within the urban realm, to those which seek to
develop cities as economic entities, the book provides an
accessible discussion and critique of some of the key approaches
that have characterised urban policy across the globe. Providing
case studies of urban policy actions, explanations of key concepts,
and succinct chapter summaries, this unique introductory text is
invaluable reading for both students and practitioners who are new
to the area of urban policy, and who wish to understand and assess
policy responses to the challenges posed by urban living and
lifestyles.
