This book is an authoritative overview and discussion of key themes
in contemporary urban policy evaluation.
The rapid introduction of new urban policy initiatives looks set
to continue in the UK, while there is increasing interest in both
North America and Europe in cross-national comparisons, and the
possibilities of transferable practice.
This volume focuses on current urban policy evaluation practice,
placing the UK in an European context. The authors address key
issues in the methodology and politics of evaluation: quantitative
and qualitative evaluation and the ways in which institutional and
political realities can affect this. The authors put forward
examples of pluralistic evaluation. A final section considers the
role of cross-national comparisons in urban policy evaluation.
Analysis of urban and regional change has been a major theme in
social science research for more than a decade. As a result there
is extensive theory and evidence about the way in which economic,
social and political forces shape urban fortunes.
