Reviews

I am convinced that this will be a well used book, and deservedly so. The issues that are explored here, not to mention the richness of the empirical material that is provided, will be of interest to policy makers, community activists and students at undergraduate and postgraduate level across a range of social and public policy, urban sociology and built environment courses and elsewhere. Social Policy This book is an important source of knowledge and inspiration for both academics and practitioners faced with the challenge of how to restructure what are often seen as 'problem' estates. Hugo Priemus, Professor at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
