Description
How to sustain the economic health, environmental quality and social justice of our cities are pressing concerns facing today's real estate managers, town planners and urban economists. "Rebuilding the City" presents an account of real estate development in British cities in the 1908s. It focuses particularly on the inter-relation between property development and urban regeneration. Drawing on data from a range of research projects, it aims to provide both a general discussion of the inter-relation between state and market in property development and those urban regions without strong economies and a specific account of the British experience.
