It promised to bring about a 'step change' in the English planning system and a new emphasis on the construction of more balanced, cohesive, and competitive places. This book uses historical and contemporary materials to document the ways in which policy-makers, in different eras, have sought to use state powers and regulations to create better, more balanced, and sustainable communities and citizens. It charts the changes that have take place in community-building policy frameworks, place imaginations, and core spatial policy initiatives in the UK since 1945. In so doing, it examines the tensions that have emerged within spatial policy over the types of places that should be created and the forms of mobility and fixity required to create them. It also shows that there are significant lessons that can be learnt from the experiences of the past. These can be used to inform contemporary policy debates over issues such as migration, uneven development, key worker housing, and sustainability. The book will be an important text for students and researchers in geography, urban studies, planning, and modern social history. It will also be of interest to practitioners working in central and local government, voluntary organisations, community groups, and those involved in the planning and design of sustainable communities. 606 $aSociology, Urban$zGreat Britain 606 $aLabor market$zGreat Britain$xRegional disparities 606 $aManpower policy$zGreat Britain 606 $aSustainable development$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial policy 615 0$aSociology, Urban 615 0$aLabor market$xRegional disparities. 615 0$aManpower policy 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a331.12042 700 $aRaco$b Mike$0473506 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784895503321 996 $aBuilding sustainable communities$9249537 997 $aUNINA
