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 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 $a9910778485603321 996 $aUrban design and the British urban renaissance$93859790 997 $aUNINA
