Summary
"This volume compares the cities of Eindhoven, Antwerp, Helsinki, Malmo, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Strasbourg and Utrecht to analyse the strategies that have been developed to combat social problems at the various levels of public administration, private parties, NGOs and community groups. It examines how social problems threaten the attractiveness of cities and how different urban revitalisation projects deal with this."--BOOK JACKET.
