Review

'I am delighted to endorse this book, which considers and debates urban regeneration in Europe. Its comprehensive aim of understanding regeneration problems, is given a unique insight by the use of practical European examples. The resultant conclusions target all that are interested in regeneration issues, and I am sure will assist the development of this topic and its process. It leans heavily on examples, so for a change allows realism to surface!Well done and I heartily recommend a read'.
