This title was first published in 2003. Most European cities have experienced problems in certain neighbourhoods that are termed deprived or excluded . Traditionally these were found in the oldest urban areas with lowest quality housing, but since the 1980s, such areas have emerged in housing estates built around the cities' edges. These neighbourhoods are marked by visible physical and social problems that disfigure the otherwise pleasant urban landscape, and can be seen as urban sores . This engaging and thought-provoking book provides a deeper understanding of why urban decay and deprived neighbourhoods appear in certain parts of cities, as well as how they affect residents and cities in general. Drawing on in-depth empirical research from Denmark, it compares this with other studies from Europe and the United States. The author combines theories and methodologies from the fields of geography (on segregation), economics (on processes of urban decay) and social research (on social exclusion and deprived neighbourhoods) to provide original, illuminating and invaluable insights.

This book examines the paradoxes, challenges, potential and problems of urban living. It understands cities as they are, rather than as they may be marketed or branded. All cities have much in common, yet the differences are important. They form the basis of both imaginative policy development and productive experiences of urban life. The phrase ‘city imaging’ is often used in public discourse, but rarely defined. It refers to the ways that particular cities are branded and marketed. It is based on the assumption that urban representations can be transformed to develop tourism and attract businesses and in-demand workers to one city in preference to another. However, such a strategy is imprecise. History, subjectivity, bias and prejudice are difficult to temper to the needs of either economic development or social justice. The taste, smell, sounds and architecture of a place all combine to construct the image of a city. For researchers, policy makers, activists and citizens, the challenge is to use or transform this image. The objective of this book is to help the reader define, understand and apply this process. After a war on terror, a credit crunch and a recession, cities still do matter. Even as the de-territorialization of the worldwide web enables the free flow of money, music and ideas across national borders, cities remain important. City Imaging: Regeneration, Renewal, Decay surveys the iconography of urbanity and explores what happens when branding is emphasized over living.

Originally published in 1986, this book provides an authoritative summary of late 20th Century trends which affected housing stock and a comprehensive commentary on policies which were designed to improve housing stock. The policies referred to are specific to England and Wales but the experience is relevant to other countries facing similar trends: a growth in owner-occupation, increasing problems of disrepair and low levels of investment in the housing stock. It will be on interest to those concerned with levels of investment in older urban areas, with the impact of subsidies on housing tenure, and with the role of government in controlling housing quality.

The Transatlantic Collapse of Urban Renewal examines how postwar thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic considered urban landscapes radically changed by the political and physical realities of sprawl, urban decay, and urban renewal. With a sweep that encompasses New York, London, Berlin, Philadelphia, and Toronto, among others, Christopher Klemek traces changing responses to the challenging issues that most affected the lives of the world’s cities. In the postwar decades, the principles of modernist planning came to be challenged—in the grassroots revolts against the building of freeways through urban neighborhoods, for instance, or by academic critiques of slum clearance policy agendas—and then began to collapse entirely. Over the 1960s, several alternative views of city life emerged among neighborhood activists, New Left social scientists, and neoconservative critics. Ultimately, while a pessimistic view of urban crisis may have won out in the United States and Great Britain, Klemek demonstrates that other countries more successfully harmonized urban renewal and its alternatives. Thismuch anticipated book provides one of the first truly international perspectives on issues central to historians and planners alike, making it essential reading for anyone engaged with either field.

The aim of this encyclopedia is to provide a comprehensive reference work on scientific and other scholarly research on the quality of life, including health-related quality of life research or also called patient-reported outcomes research. Since the 1960s two overlapping but fairly distinct research communities and traditions have developed concerning ideas about the quality of life, individually and collectively, one with a fairly narrow focus on health-related issues and one with a quite broad focus. In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence. What we have not had so far is a single, multidimensional reference work connecting the most salient and important contributions to the relevant fields. Entries are organized alphabetically and cover basic concepts, relatively well established facts, lawlike and causal relations, theories, methods, standardized tests, biographic entries on significant figures, organizational profiles, indicators and indexes of qualities of individuals and of communities of diverse sizes, including rural areas, towns, cities, counties, provinces, states, regions, countries and groups of countries.

Abstract Urban renewal is a long struggle in our society in line with the drastic development in Hong Kong. As upheaval of genuine need for better living and business environment, the redevelopment programme for the dilapidated building zone at inner city was formulated in a systematic (Survey-Analysis-Plan) approach to solve the urban decay problem as early as the 60's (Lo etal, 1986). Urban renewal programme has been executed for a long time with the participation with all interested parties, but the progress was unsatisfactory since a lot of planned redevelopment area is still unchanged. The existing mechanism was found to be inefficient and ineffective to run the renewal programme. Without a comprehensive framework and mechanism, full support from the government, coalition with private resources and related parties, the progress of urban renewal in Hong Kong is sluggish which in turn will hinder growth of the city. The 1998 Policy Address by the Chief Executive- Mr Tung Chee-hwa was afresh focused on the progress of urban renewal and hastened the establishment of new redevelopment body to participate in urban renewal. The potential renewal authority is therefore proposed to be set up. Planning Department proposed to consider the possibility of transforming the existing Land Development Corporation to Urban Renewal Authority (URA) to shape the role of redevelopment in urban renewal (PEBL, 1988a). Page.l Renewal in Urban Hong Kong: the need for a new authority This dissertation is prepared to direct the establishment of new authority in light of social, economic, planning, environmental and institutional issues in the public domain. Through reviewing the problems surfaced from the urban decay and the difficulties in renewal process, it will examine the existing mechanism of urban renewal, identify the need for a new renewal authority to reengineer the existing renewal organisation via the possible transformation of Land Development Corporation (LDC). The direction of the new renewal body is guided in the concerned issues and in response to public interest by open and fair renewal procedures, particular attention will be paid to the poor and the weak. Finally, it will propose the possible role of the Urban Renewal Authority ("URA"). In fact, this urban renewal study will offer an opportunity to profoundly realise the mechanism, organization and behaviour of related parties, conflict of interest, and the issues in the social, economic, planning, environmental and institutional aspect.
