Urban Regeneration in Europe

Many old urban areas in Europe are undergoing a radical restructuring of their economic base and are subject to regeneration strategies. There is much political interest in urban regeneration as an element of urban policy and large amounts of public money are being invested in various urban centres.
This book gives a comparative account of the process of urban regeneration in France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Germany and the UK. It examines the factors influencing these processes, as well as the consequences of their implementation.
Through a mixture of theoreticaldiscussion and detailed case studies, Urban Regeneration in Europe will:

provide a comprehensive and informed presentation of policies
discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by old industrial areas
develop current knowledge and understanding on the urban regeneration process
put forward an interdisciplinary approach
