This book documents and assesses the core of New Labour's approach to the revitalisation of cities; that is, the revival of citizenship, democratic renewal, and the participation of communities to spearhead urban change. In doing so, it explores the meaning, and relevance, of ‘community’ as a focus for urban renaissance. The book interrogates the conceptual and ideological content of New Labour's conceptions of community and, through the use of case studies, evaluates how far, and with what effects, such conceptions are shaping contemporary urban policy and practice.
Keywords: New Labour, revitalisation, cities, revival of citizenship, democratic renewal, urban change
