Some 30 years after Glasgow turned towards regeneration, indicators
of its built environment, its health, its economic performance and
its quality of life remain below UK averages. This
interdisciplinary study examines the ongoing transformation of
Glasgow as it transitioned from a de-industrial to a
post-industrial city during the 20th and 21st centuries. Looking at
the diverse issues of urban policy, regeneration and economic and
social change, it considers the evolving lived experiences of
Glaswegians. Contributors explore the actions required to secure
the gains of regeneration and create an economically competitive,
socially just and sustainable city, establishing a theory that
moves beyond post-industrialism and serves as a model for similar
cities globally.
This book provides an important new contribution to the literature
about Eastern Europe following the political changes of the early
1990s. Its focus is on housing, which before these changes was
dominated in all Eastern European countries by state control and,
to a lesser extent, state provision. Here, the contributors aim to
describe and analyze the fundamental changes that are now taking
place as these housing systems, together with their supporting
financial institutions and building industries, are privatized.

core of the book consists of seven chapters by Eastern European
research teams, each covering a different country and providing
accounts of local housing systems before and after the recent
political changes. The core and supporting chapters all emphasize
analysis of housing change with reference to social and political
change and discussion of the effects of privatization on the
availability and distribution of housing.
