SUMMARY

Cities in Stress represents a significant departure from previous research on urban decline and restructuring. Challenging conventional wisdom from both left and right, and including a chapter on Britain, the contributors to this volume seek to advance our theoretical understanding of the nature, dynamics and significance of the urban crisis. Through detailed case studies of adjustments made in urban policy in response to the social and fiscal strains of the 1970s, they reconsider the relationship between urban crisis and recovery. The implications of these case studies and of recent urban restructuring are used to evaluate urban theory itself and to modify current theoretical arguments about urban development.Gottdiener, Mark is the author of 'Cities in Stress: A New Look at the Urban Crisis', published 1986 under ISBN 9780803925762 and ISBN 080392576X.
