Description:
Globalization, the retreat of national welfare states, and demands for sustainable development are some of the pressures on contemporary cities, according to British and German scholars from city planning, political science, history, geography, and other fields. They explore the search for new forms of local democratic governance and constructive struggles to enhance the quality of life for city dwellers. The 17 papers are from a May 1997 symposium in Bristol, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the twinning of that city and Hanover.
