Publisher's Synopsis
Cities develop policy measures aimed at improving their position in Europe. At the same time national governments also pursue policies that affect the functioning of cities. EURICUR has investigated the 'state of the art' concerning national urban policy in the European Union. Experts from each member state have contributed to the comprehensive international comparative research. The resulting investigation is a truly unique volume that comprises a well structured overview of the experiences of each member state as well as an analysis of the major trends in national urban policy today.
