'This is an important book that brings to a wider readership original research on urban problems and regeneration in Denmark and places it in a wider European context. As such it is a valuable addition to our understanding of the nature of urban problems and policies in Western Europe. Its publication is particularly apposite given the growing interest within the EU in the development of an ''EU Urban Policy''. I would strongly advise anyone interested in urban problems and policies to read this book.' Dr Rob Atkinson, University of the West of England, UK ' ...the results are expertly set in the broader context of experience in western cities and will be of value to those interested in housing problems, social exclusion and area based policies.' Geography '...the book will be a great help in informing students about the complexity of ''problem areas'' in the urbanised environments of ''Western'' countries' Urban Studies 'Urban Sores has its strength in its broad perspective...the purpose of Urban Sores is important...the conclusions both intersting and stimulating.' Housing Studies '...an interesting and well argued book...a stimulating publication that synthesises the wider literature with interesting empirical literature from Denmark. The author uses his considerable expertise on this issue to produce a well argued book which has strong messages for the future development of housing policies that seek to tackle issues of urban decay and segregation.'
