Apologies for cross-posting ********************* The Policy Press has just published a new book: Phoenix cities: The fall and rise of great industrial cities, by Anne Power, Jörg Plöger and Astrid Winkler. I am sure that it will be of interest to members of this list. "As we embark on a new era of urbanism, based on resilience, equity and sustainability, there's so much to learn from these 'boom, bust and recover' case studies. A hugely insightful piece of work." Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director, Forum for the Future "It is vital that urban policy makers learn the right lessons from past failures - and past successes. This new book is a rich source for anyone who cares about the future of cities." Howard Davies, Director, London School of Economics and Political Science This book explores economic, social and environmental transformations in Europe and the USA to inform the regeneration of 'weak market cities' and provide much that is original to those wanting to understand the ground-level realities of urban change and progress.
