This work focuses on the largest cities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, countries which make up the United Kingdom. It provides basic history and geography with an emphasis on life in contemporary times. Other subjects covered include cultural diversity, demographic composition and many other aspects of life in the nation's largest urban centres. The United Kingdom is one of the most urbanised countries in the world and, because of that, the cities covered in the book collectively constitute a microcosm of this metropolitan nation. When you learn about the cities, you also learn about the country in general especially the urban aspect of the United Kingdom as a highly industrialised nation. The industrial revolution led to the establishment of towns and cities and today these urban centres are central to life in this vibrant nation. If you are going to the United Kingdom for the first time, you may find this work to be useful. But even those who don't intend to go to the UK may learn some important things about some of the most dynamic urban centres in the world including London.

The New Towns Programme of 1946 to 1970 represents one of the most substantial periods of urban development in Britain. This book covers the story of how these towns came to be built, how they aged, and the challenges and opportunities they now face as they begin phases of renewal. The New Towns provide lessons for social, economic and environmental sustainability which are of great relevance for the regeneration of twentieth century urbanism and the creation of new urban developments today.

Britain invented the modern industrial city in the nineteenth century. But by the late 20th century most British cities had become basket cases. Today London overshadows the rest of the country, as the UK's only 'world city'. No other large country is anything like as economically and politically centralized. This concentration of power damages Britain's economy and fuels the sense of discontent felt by the millions of people for whom the capital seems like another planet. Yet it is cities that are fuelling economic growth around the world. Mike Emmerich looks at the DNA of cities and how it expresses itself in their institutions, governance, public services, religion and culture. He argues that the UK needs a devolutionary ratchet, allowing major cities the freedom to seek devolution of any area of public spending that is not inherently national in nature (such as defence). Cities should have powers to raise some of their own taxes including business, property and sales based taxes and to increase them. He calls for sustained investment in transport and infrastructure, and also training. An innovation-centric industrial policy would also have an emphasis on the social fabric of cities and - crucially - their institutions.

Urban Regeneration — A Manifesto for transforming UK Cities in the Age of Climate Change explores and offers guidance on the complex process of how to transform cities, continuing the unfinished project of the seminal 1999 text Towards an Urban Renaissance. It is a 21st-century manifesto of urban principles compiled by a prominent urbanist, for the regeneration of UK cities, focusing on the characteristics of a ‘good place’ and the strategies of sustainable urbanism. It asks readers to consider how we can best transform the derelict, abandoned and run-down parts of cities back into places where people want to live, work and play. The book frames an architecture of re-use that translates and combines the complex ‘science of cities’ and the art of urban and architectural design into actionable and practical guidance on how to regenerate cities. Fascinated by the typology and value of the compact UK and European city model, Lehmann introduces the concept of ‘high density without high buildings’ as a solution that will make our cities compact, walkable, mixed-use and vibrant again.

CitiesDescription Cities as larger metropolitan areas concentrate trade, politics, culture, ideas and people. So they are important for local economies and why so many people live and work within or near to cities. The earliest city formed over 7000 years ago, and one of the reasons were to store surplus food. The military would fortify these cities to provide a means of controlling large areas beyond the city walls. Thus they became important centres for many reasons. Today almost half the world population live in cities. Which is why with 69 UK cities, you should find out about them, and what they are all about. So, record your visits in my comprehensive logbook (every city is listed), as its one way to find out more about the UK and widen your horizons. Enjoy!

This is an introduction to British cities. It provides a profile of urban life and of the nation's metropolitan centres. The focus is on the largest cities in the United Kingdom. Cities in the Republic of Ireland are not covered in the book because the country is not part of the United Kingdom although it's part of the British Isles. The only city on the island of Ireland covered in the book is Belfast because it's in Northern Ireland which is an integral part of the UK. The book is intended for anyone who wants to learn about the cities of the United Kingdom. Tourists and other people going to the United Kingdom will find this book to be useful. It also provides important information for immigrants and foreign students going to the UK. Even those who don't intend to visit or stay in the UK will learn quite a few things about the largest cities in this island nation. It provides basic facts about the history and geography of the cities, and much more. Other subjects covered include the economy, demographic composition, cultural diversity and many other aspects of the largest cities in the United Kingdom. People who specialise in the United Kingdom may also find this work to be useful. But it's not a scholarly work even if some specialists in British studies may find some material to be useful in their fields. The book is written simply as a general introduction, and for members of the general public, about some of the most important cities in the UK which are also some of the most important in the entire Europe and in the world.
