Quality of Life and Public Management explores the possibility for
a dramatic and significant improvement in quality of life for all
population groups and sub-groups in the UK. Strongly
evidence-based, the book draws on case study data and comparisons
into local and central government structure, funding, policy,
cultures and outcomes from a number of EU countries, such as
Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. It shows that quality of life on
a number of important criteria is superior in these other countries
than it is in the UK. The book makes a strong argument that it is
possible to replicate this success in the UK and that failure to do
so has been the result of failed political institutions, in
particular local government. John Whitelegg examines the impact of
better central and local governance on the welfare of children and
older people. He also looks at the built environment, air quality,
resilience and renewable energy in the UK and gives suggestions for
practical and implementable policies based on evidence and best
practice from other EU cities. The book is rooted in the belief
that every locality can and should have the best possible standards
of health, quality of life, environment, climate change protection
and transport choices that can be found anywhere in the world. This
book will be of great value to students and researchers in the
fields of public management, politics, social work, planning and
public services in general. It also has direct relevance for
professionals in central and local government, councillors,
community groups and NGOs.
