The world's population is rapidly urbanizing but the affluence and development often associated with cities are far from equitably or sustainably distributed.

This text outlines the essential conditions for effective urban planning and management by placing bottom-up community initiatives at the...

The report sets out an agenda of innovation as a first step to sustainable cities. It provides a better understanding of how cities can shift away from the...

During the past 10 years 'partnership' has become a defining characteristic of British urban regeneration. It is widely recognised that the multiple problems of economic decline, social exclusion and dereliction require holistic and area-specific responses that can only be provided by effective multi-agency working, through local partnerships.
