Asking that question, this is a critical review of how the design dimension of the Urban Renaissance strategy was developed and applied, based on expert academic assessments of progress in Britain's thirteen largest cities. The case studies are preceded by a dissection of New Labour's renaissance agenda, and concluded by a synthesis of achievements and failings. Exploring the implications of this strategy for the future of urban planning and design, this is a must-read for students, practitioners of these subjects and for all those who wish to improve the quality of the British urban environment. 606 $aCity planning$zGreat Britain 606 $aUrban policy$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCity planning 615 0$aUrban policy 676 $a307.1/2160941 701 $aPunter$b John$0505371 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455398403321 996 $aUrban design and the British urban renaissance$91966083 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01689ojm 2200313z- 450 001 9910148765103321 005 20230912161814.0 010 $a0-00-733831-7 035 $a(CKB)3710000000923100 035 $a(BIP)027279128 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000923100 100 $a20231107c2009uuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 10$aDark Justice (Sean Dillon Series, Book 12) 210 $cHarperCollins UK 330 8 $aA fabulous all-new contemporary thriller from the master of the genre - the author of the international bestsellers Midnight Runner, A Fine Night for Dying and Bad Company.Read by Rupert Penry-Jones.Sean Dillon is back in another heart-stopping, adrenalin-laced adventureWhen the president's right hand men foil a plan to assassinate him.
