| Description: |
This book argues that economic globalization should not imply the end of social urban policies; and that policy-makers do have sufficient freedom of action to make decisions about the social and economic future of deprived city areas. Evidence assembled from several European cities clearly demonstrates that neighbourhood-based development strategies can work to improve the environment for their populations. |
| Synopsis: |
In this book the author seeks to rebut the somewhat fatalistic argument that socio-economic prosperity in the cities can only be achieved by the application of global market-led policies. He argues that urban society and policy makers do have sufficient freedom of action to make local decisions on the economic and social development of deprived neighbourhoods. Drawing on evidence from six major European cities, he demonstrates that their 'Integrated Area Development' strategies, which rely on grassroots democracy and the empowerment of local communities, can deliver a social, economic, and cultural renaissance which meets the needs of the local population more effectively than the market-forces creed. |
