Description and Table of Contents
Description
Combining the author's expertise with extensive research, this book fills a gap in the scholarly debate on globalisation and urban development.
Through a range of visual sources including maps, tables, and graphs, the book is applicable and accessible, and offers a specialised analysis of medium-sized cities through assessing urban regeneration policies as well as promotional activities and their role in promoting positive change in an era of great inter-urban competition.
This book is unique in its focus on Medium-Sized cities, and opens debate on areas other than well-known and exhaustedly discussed major cities such as London and Tokyo.
The book has a large audience range, including those within disciplines of Urban History, Urban Studies, and Geography, as well as being a significant source for Professionals working in urban planning and place promotion. The book is thus invaluable as a source of information and debate across a wide field of study.
