About The Book

<p>Until now much research in the field of urban planning and change has focused on the economic political social cultural and spatial transformations of global cities and larger metropolitan areas. In this topical new volume David Bell and Mark Jayne redress this balance focusing on urban change within small cities around the world. </p><p>Drawing together research from a strong international team of contributors this four part book is the first systematic overview of small cities. A comprehensive and integrated primer with coverage of all key topics it takes a multi-disciplinary approach to an important contemporary urban phenomenon. The book addresses:</p><ul> <li>political and economic decision making </li> <li>urban economic development and competitive advantage</li> <li>cultural infrastructure and planning in the regeneration of small cities</li> <li>identities lifestyles and ways in which different groups interact in small cities. </li> </ul><p>Centering on urban change as opposed to pure ethnographic description the book’s focus on informed empirical research raises many important issues. Its blend of conceptual chapters and theoretically directed case studies provides an excellent resource for a broad spectrum of undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as providing a rich resource for academics and researchers. </p>
