'Jones & Evans (as they will surely soon be known) have written a textbook that will become ubiquitous in the bibliographies of future scholars of UK urban regeneration: a comprehensive introduction to the subject with plenty of leads to future research. Briskly written, the book covers policy, governance, competition, sustainability, design and cultural aspects of regeneration... The book is a timely introduction to the maze of urban regeneration for students and a useful aide memoire for people who have worked in, for, with, or against urban regeneration in the United Kingdom. Useful as a handbook, a guidebook or a cheatbook, it will undoubtedly find a home on shelves around the country'- Matthew Hardy, Secretary, INTBAU

'The area of urban regeneration has long been popular with students from a number of disciplines but has tended to lack a student-friendly overview. This is a solid attempt to address this omission' - Times Higher Education Textbook Guide
