Post-suburbia is a term that encapsulates a variety of contemporary
urban forms, in particular the 'edge city' - a term used to
describe the rapid growth of new urban centres at the edges of
established major cities. Widely discussed in the US, very little
has been written about European edge cities and this book provides
a comparative analysis of examples in Greece, Spain, Paris, Finland
and the UK, offering a theoretical analysis of the edge city and of
post-suburban Europe.

Threatened from above by economic globalization and European integration, and from below by the rise of identity politics, the French state has attempted to redefine its relationship to its citizens. Reinventing France examines the ways in which state action has endeavored to promote social integration in an increasingly fragmented nation and has challenged traditional concepts of an indivisible Republic and universal citizenship rights in order to achieve the core republican ideals of freedom, equality and solidarity.
