This new edition of Urban Regeneration provides a significant contribution to the study of cities and regeneration.

Thre first edition of Roberts & Sykes' 'Urban Regeneration: a handbook' was published hot on the heels of the Urban Task Force report and became essential reading for students and academics in the noughties. The authors' definition of urban regeneration gained recognition and the breadth of contributions was impressive. A lot has changed in the intervening period and New Labour's Urban Renaissance is now a fading memory in austerity era Britain.
Very important in knowing about urban formation
