The major cities of the western world are undergoing profound social transformations. Urban life is changing rapidly and fears of social breakdown and disorder are widespread. "Transforming Cities" reviews these changes, documents the social divisions they are generating and evaluates attempts to regenerate urban social relations around new policy initiatives and forms of governance.
Reviewing developments in major urban cities, the contributors offer explanations for the fundamental economic political and social processes which characterize contemporary urban living. Particular attention is given to analyzing emerging political regimes and institutional structures which promote material solutions and the promotion of partnership as the antidote to social breakdown. Contributors discuss the implications of these new forms of regulation for local democracy and community participation in changing social conditions.
