Unequal Cities: Economic Development and Social Cohesion in Six European Cities: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Unequal Cities: Economic Development and Social Cohesion in Six European Cities" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This seminal edited collection examines the impact of austerity and economic crisis on European cities. Whilst on the one hand the struggle for competitiveness has induced many European cities to invest in economic performance and attractiveness, on the other, national expenditure cuts and dominant neo-liberal paradigms have led many to retrench public intervention aimed at preserving social protection and inclusion. The impact of these transformations on social and spatial inequalities whether occupational structures, housing solutions or working conditions as well as on urban policy addressing these issues is traced in this exemplary piece of comparative analysis grounded in original research.Unequal Cities links existing theories and debates with newer discussions on the crisis to develop a typology of possible orientations of local government towards economic development and social cohesion. In the process, it describes the challenges and tensions facing six large European cities, representative of a variety of welfare regimes in Western Europe: Barcelona, Copenhagen, Lyon, Manchester, Milan, and Munich. It seeks to answer such key questions as:What social groups are most affected by recent urban transformations and what are the social and spatial impacts? What are the main institutional factors influencing how cities have dealt with the challenges facing them? How have local political agendas articulated the issues and what influence is still exerted by national policy?Grounded in an original urban policy analysis of the post-industrial city in Europe, the book will appeal to a wide range of social science researchers, Ph.D. and graduate students in urban studies, social policy, sociology, human geography, European studies and business studies, both in Europe and internationally.

Unequal Cities
This seminal edited collection examines the impact of austerity and economic crisis on European cities. Whilst on the one hand the struggle for competitiveness has induced many European cities to invest in economic performance and attractiveness, on the other, national expenditure cuts and dominant neo-liberal paradigms have led many to retrench public intervention aimed at preserving social protection and inclusion. The impact of these transformations on social and spatial inequalities whether occupational structures, housing solutions or working conditions as well as on urban policy addressing these issues is traced in this exemplary piece of comparative analysis grounded in original research.
Unequal Cities links existing theories and debates with newer discussions on the crisis to develop a typology of possible orientations of local government towards economic development and social cohesion. In the process, it describes the challenges and tensions facing six large European cities, representative of a variety of welfare regimes in Western Europe: Barcelona, Copenhagen, Lyon, Manchester, Milan and Munich. It seeks to answer such key questions as:
What social groups are most affected by recent urban transformations and what are the social and spatial impacts?
What are the main institutional factors influencing how cities have dealt with the challenges facing them?
How have local political agendas articulated the issues and what influence is still exerted by national policy?
Grounded in an original urban policy analysis of the post-industrial city in Europe, the book will appeal to a wide range of social science researchers, PhD and graduate students in urban studies, social policy, sociology, human geography, European studies and business studies, both in Europe and internationally.
Roberta Cucca is Marie Curie Fellow at the Department of Sociology, University of Vienna. Her main research interests are oriented to: economic competitiveness and social inequalities in contemporary cities; deliberative and participatory democracy; environmental crisis and social vulnerability.
Costanzo Ranci is Full Professor in Economic Sociology at the Polytechnic of Milan, Italy. He is Director of Social Policy Research Unit (LPS) and of the International PhD programme in Urban Studies at the Polytechnic of Milan. He has published extensively on social inequality and welfare policy.
