First published in 1989, this book examines seven different
localities, ranging from the outer suburbs of large northern cities
to small freestanding town, which were prospering in the 1980s or
struggling against the negative employment effects of
restructuring. Within the theoretical frame of 'industrial
restructuring', it traces the development of each locality,
exploring in depth the influence of several key elements -
deindustrialisation, technological change, the shift to the
services in employment - on social composition, political change
and local policy. A major contribution to locality studies, this
book is essential reading for students of urban and regional
studies, and sociology.
