Reviews

In a gentrifying urban world, rhetoric can often run ahead of evidence. This book skillfully redresses this balance by compiling empirical outcomes of a number of fascinating and detailed projects under the Arts and Humanities Research Council s Connected Communities project. The editors weave a compelling empirically focused, but theoretically informed, narrative that exposes the harsh realities of a post-regeneration urban landscape. --Oli Mould, Royal Holloway, University of London Times Higher Education

This important contribution to the urban policy and regeneration literature is the first major text to critically examine urban policy in the United Kingdom since 2008 and proposes that we have entered a period of post-regeneration in the United Kingdom. This contribution will be of use to academics, policy makers, and communities alike. --Andrew Tallon, University of the West of England
