Until now, much research in the field of urban planning and change
has focused on the economic, political, social, cultural and
spatial transformations of global cities and larger metropolitan
areas. In this topical new volume, David Bell and Mark Jayne
redress this balance, focusing on urban change within small cities
around the world. Drawing together research from a strong
international team of contributors, this four part book is the
first systematic overview of small cities. A comprehensive and
integrated primer with coverage of all key topics, it takes a
multi-disciplinary approach to an important contemporary urban
phenomenon. The book addresses: political and economic decision
making urban economic development and competitive advantage
cultural infrastructure and planning in the regeneration of small
cities identities, lifestyles and ways in which different groups
interact in small cities. Centering on urban change as opposed to
pure ethnographic description, the book's focus on informed
empirical research raises many important issues. Its blend of
conceptual chapters and theoretically directed case studies
provides an excellent resource for a broad spectrum of
undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as providing a
rich resource for academics and researchers.
