Customer Reviews

Its great
This book provides a good outline of the key facts and ideas of urban regeneration. It provides information at a basic level as well as an intermediate level. Very useful for essay writing!!

Concis Overview and Good Reference
This book is an excellent source for a concise overview of all the issues within the urban regeneration discipline - ranging from physical redevelopment to community empowerment to financing of regeneration projects to monitoring.

Certainly it does not go into great detail in each of the subjects - and in fact if it did it would make it too detailed with information that you would only need should you choose to specialise within that field. It is a good reference source for students who should have a copy to gain an appreciation of what urban regeneration is all about. Times have moved on but regeneration issues still remain around the physical degradation of the environment - and this book covers the raft of current issues.
