Governing European Cities: Social Fragmentation, Social Exclusion and Urban Governance

Edited by Hans Thor Andersen, Edited by Ronald van Kempen, Edited by Ronald van Kempen






| book description |

This volume is a result of the action COST A9 Civitas - Transformation of European Cities and Urban Governance , launched in 1995, which looks at the emergence of the urban question. The COST framework is a European mechanism to provide scientific and technical assistance for national research programmes. The text covers the change in the importance of European cities and analyzes how each city re-formulates its policies and methods of governing in response to these changes. The aim of this text is to analyze the new forms of urban governance using three points of view, a statistical approach, an economic approach and a sociological approach. This book tackles the fragmentation and social exclusion that occurs in urban society and explores the different forms it takes throughout Europe. It also presents some strategies to combat or at least regulate this fragmentation, to ensure a united European city.
