This book explores the concept of 'home' in Liverpool over phases
of 'regeneration' following the Second World War. Using qualitative
research in the oral history tradition, it explores what the author
conceptualises as 'forward-facing' regeneration in the period up to
the 1980s, and neoliberal regeneration interventions that
'prioritise the past' from the 1980s to the present. The author
examines how the shift towards city centre-focused redevelopment
and 'event-led' initiatives has implications for the way residents
make sense of their conceptualisations of 'home', and demonstrates
how the shift in regeneration focus, discourse, and practice, away
from Liverpool's neighbourhood districts and towards the city
centre, has produced changes in the ways that residents identify
with neighbourhoods and the city centre, with prominence being
given to the latter. Employing Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of
habitus and field as mechanisms for understanding different senses
of home and shifts from localised views to globalised views, this
book will appeal to those with interests in urban sociology,
regeneration, geography, sociology, home cultures, and cities.
