Urban Redevelopment and Modernity in Liverpool and Manchester, 1918-1939 is the first book to provide the hitherto unknown story of the innovative transformation of these cities. Charlotte Wildman challenges academic scholarship in British history, which associates the post-1918 period with the emasculation of local government and the decline of civic culture. She shows that local politicians, planners, architects, businessmen and even religious leaders embraced innovative trends in creating distinct forms of urban modernities, which particularly changed the way women experienced the transformed city. Urban Redevelopment and Modernity in Liverpool and Manchester, 1918-1939 offers a complex, interactive and multipolar interpretation of the ways cities develop, pointing to new methods and ways of understanding both interwar Britain and urban history more generally. At a time of debate and discussion about devolution and decentralisation of government, this book makes an opportune contribution to debates about urban governance and regionalism in contemporary Britain"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aUrban renewal$zEngland$zLiverpool$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aUrban renewal$zEngland$zManchester$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCity and town life$zEngland$zLiverpool$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCity and town life$zEngland$zLiverpool$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial change$zEngland$zLiverpool$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial change$zEngland$zLiverpool$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLiverpool (England)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aManchester (England)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aLiverpool (England)$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 607 $aManchester (England)$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 615 0$aUrban renewal$xHistory 615 0$aUrban renewal$xHistory 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 676 $a307.3/4160942 686 $aHIS000000$aHIS015000$aHIS037070$2bisacsh 700 $aWildman$b Charlotte$01262037 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597147403321 996 $aUrban redevelopment and modernity in Liverpool and Manchester, 1918-1939$92947484 997 $aUNINA
