Confronted with a declining jobs base, deepening social problems
and apparent indifference on the part of central government, many
British cities made an 'entrepreneurial turn' during the last two
decades. Few did so in quite such a dramatic way as Manchester:
once a bastion of municipal socialism, the city has
enthusiastically embraced the new economy of high-level services,
comspicuous cultural consumption and aggressive self-promotion.
City of revolution provides a comprehensive, reflective and
critical analysis of this far-reaching process of urban
transformation, searching beneath the hype to expose the true
character of the 'new Manchester'. Has Manchester engineered an
urban renaissance, having finally turned its back on the grimy
factory economy? Or is it on a slow-motion slide into the
post-industrial sludge of economic insecurity and social
polarisation? Drawing on the work of leading researchers and
commentators in the field, this collection provides answers to
these and other questions concerning Manchester's changing
political economy. It makes compelling reading for all those with
an interest in the future of Britain's cities.
