After Urban Regeneration cover

After Urban Regeneration is a comprehensive study of contemporary trends in urban policy and planning. Leading scholars come together to create a key contribution to the literature on gentrification, with a focus on the history and theory of community in urban policy. Engaging with debates as to how urban policy has changed, and continues to change, following the financial crash of 2008, the book provides an essential antidote to those who claim that culture and society can replicate the role of the state. Based on research from the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Connected Communities programme and with a unique set of case studies drawing on artistic and cultural community work, the book will appeal to scholars and students in geography, urban studies, planning, sociology, law and art as well as policy makers and community workers.

"An accessible piece of literature that will add to the knowledge of many academics in this field." Town Planning Review
"A genuinely fresh, and admirably provocative, attempt to reshape the way we seek to understand the evolving urban policy agenda." Housing Studies
"After Urban Regeneration an excellent book and it is very well crafted and organised. The chapters are critical in tone and characterised by incisive critiques of community and urban policy and practice. There is nothing like this on the market that examines the impact of localism on communities, and the diverse ways in which community groups are cultivating new knowledges and practices of self government." Professor Rob Imrie, Goldsmiths, University of London
"This important contribution to the urban policy and regeneration literature is the first major text to critically examine urban policy in the UK since 2008, and proposes that we have entered a period of `post-regeneration’ in the UK. This contribution will be of use to academics, policy makers and communities alike." Andrew Tallon, University of the West of England
