Publisher's Synopsis
This presents an analysis of how local communities throughout Western and Eastern Europe have organized to stimulate economic regeneration in their localities. All major types of area are covered - metropolitan areas, intermediate-sized towns, rural areas and declining industrial regions and the book offers a broad range of country case studies representing Northern, Southern, Central, Eastern and Western Europe. Emphasis is placed on the transferability of experience - each case study follows a common format allowing unique and generally applicable elements to be separated out.
