Description
Books in this series, covering the main topics which feature in the majority of A level geography syllabuses, are designed for sixth form geography students sitting A level exams. They have a common structure with in-text assignments, additional activities, summaries of key ideas and reading lists for each chapter. This second edition explores key issues in urban planning, including policies for inner city regeneration, housing policies, demand-led planning, community architecture, the development of decentralized retailing and the role of the green belt. The text has taken account of the up-dating of syllabuses coupled with shifts in the development of urban areas during the 1980s.
