This excellent 2nd edition offers a comprehensive update on past and contemporary regeneration research, policy and practice. It addresses future prospects, challenges and choices facing governments worldwide. This superb collection of UK and international chapters identifies best practice and opportunities for policy learning. The original editors, joined by a third, have broadened both scope and direction. Early (updated) chapters follow a similar format to the first edition, but the content and international scope of later chapters are significantly extended. A welcome addition to a multi-disciplinary topic, it will have wide appeal as it elucidates and simplifies a highly complex field -- Joyce Liddle This new edition of Urban Regeneration provides a significant contribution to the study of cities and regeneration. Written by some of the leading names from practice and academia, the book draws out the principal themes and cutting edge ideas that students of planning, property and real estate, geography, political science and urban regeneration will find indispensable. -- Mark Tewdwr-Jones
