Produktbeschreibung
East Manchester has been the site of one of the most substantial regeneration projects internationally. Urban regeneration was a central plank of New Labour policy and the approach has radically altered since the election of the Coalition Government in 2010. East Manchester was one of the most deprived areas of Britain in 1997, referred to as a 'basket case' in dire need of regeneration. The initiative in east Manchester confirmed the tag that the city is the 'regeneration capital' of the United Kingdom. The book explores the role of public sector agencies such as New East Manchester, NDC/Beacons and the Housing Market Renewal Programme; the Manchester voluntary sector and the private sector including the major investments linked to Manchester City Football Club and the Etihad Campus. While the book focuses on a single regeneration initiative, it has wider relevance to national and international regeneration initiatives. The book assesses the outcomes of the regeneration initiative although it demonstrates the difficulties in producing a definitive evaluation. It has a political focus and illuminates and challenges many assumptions underpinning three major current academic debates: governance, participatory democracy and ideology. The book is relevant to students of politics, geography, sociology, public administration and recent history but will also interest practitioners, academics and general readers interested in urban regeneration. Mancunians will also be fascinated in the rapidly changing face and character of their city as will those with an interest in Manchester's football, the Commonwealth Games and Sportcity.
