This book examines critically the various concepts of the inner city; looks at examples of urban decline and renewal, both in the United Kingdom and elsewhere; and, asking whether the "inner city" is more than a rhetorical device, looks beyond the political and theoretical notion of inner city problems to the impact of policies on people's lives. Contributors include professional planners and academics from departments of sociology, politics, race relation and geography.
