"Three quarters of Europe's population live in towns. This makes urban issues an important political issue, high on the policy agenda of every national government, and dominating local political life. Despite this fact, government activities have often failed to address key issues. The authors examine this fact, and also look at recent government
initiatives that have been more successful, where ""institutional dynamics"" have been adopted. The book focuses on these
institutional dynamics and provides a comparative analysis of them in eight different urban areas - Bologna, Bordeaux, Geneve-Lausanne, Lyons, Manchester, Rotterdam, Stuttgart and
Torino."
