A Tale of Two Cities is a study of two major cities, Manchester and
Sheffield. Drawing on the work of major theorists, the authors
explore the everyday life, making contributions to our
understanding of the defining activities of life.
The city of the future is to be found not just in the post-modern
metropolis but also in the once great industrial cities, from the
rust belt of the United States to the centres of the English
industrial revolution. This is a study of two such cities -
Manchester and Sheffield. Drawing on an international range of
theory from Raymond Williams to John Logan and Harvey Molotch to
identify and interpret the trajectory of change in the old
industrial centre, this text looks at the texture of everyday life:
transport, shopping, the experiences of fear, begging and
homelessness. Throughout its theoretical and empirical exploration
of specific localities, it provides an investigation into the
different furtures available to post-Fordist cities throughout the
world.
