Urban Policy and Politics in Britain (Contemporary Political Studies)2000

"Urban Policy and Politics in Britain provides a comprehensive introduction to the Blair government's legislation and proposals - the New Deal for Communities, the introduction of Regional Development Agencies, the proposals for elected mayor and cabinets - set in a clear historical and theoretical framework. It assesses New Labour's claims for the superiority of its 'third way' between state and market approaches and the likely prospects for its search for a more inclusive, and more just, city."--BOOK JACKET.
