"Disadvantaged by where you live?" distils lessons from work on
neighbourhoods carried out within the Cities Research Centre of the
University of the West of England over the past seven years. It
offers a major contribution to academic debates on the
neighbourhood both as a sphere of governance and as a point of
public service delivery under New Labour since 1997. The book
explores how 'the neighbourhood' has been used in policy in the UK;
what the 'appropriate contribution' of neighbourhood governance is
and how this relates to concepts of multi-level governance; the
tensions that are visible at the neighbourhood level and what this
tells us about wider governance issues. The book explores and
reflects on the notion of neighbourhood governance from a variety
of perspectives that reflect the unique depth and breadth of the
Centre's research programme. Neighbourhood governance is examined
in relation to: multi-level governance and city-regions; local
government; mainstreaming; cross-national differences in
neighbourhood policy; community and civil society; diversity;
different conceptions of democracy; and, evaluation and learning.
In doing so, the book identifies useful conceptual tools for
analysing the present and future contribution of policy to
neighbourhoods.
