In this book two authors in the field of urban studies provide a basic text in urban politics and policy-making, adopting a comparative approach by using empirical material from Britain and the USA to highlight general similarities, contrasts and trends common to most western urbanized countries. It examines the role played by urban political systems in determining the welfare, in the broadest sense of urban residents and how urban well-being is affected by factors other than urban government, such as the private market system, national government and wider political attitudes. It examines the impact upon urban residents of the intergovernmental environment, the scope and function of urban government and the mutual interpretation of urban and national political systems.
