About The Product

The academic and policy interest in the development of cities, the renewal of residential and older industrial neighbourhoods in cities, and issues to do with race, polarisation and inequality in cities has remained at the forefront of policy and academic debate across Europe and North America. This book provides an important new contribution to these debates and highlights specific issues and developments which are crucial to an understanding of debates about residence, renewal and community empowerment.



  • engages with the urban regeneration, development and housing aspects of real estate
  • places debates on polarisation, inequality and race in a city-based structure
  • provides up-to-date account of policy developments
