Index

This original book builds on the author’s research in Phoenix cities to present a vivid story of Europe’s post-industrial cities pre- and post- financial crisis. Using varied case studies the book explores how policy responses to the economic crisis have played out in different European cities, with their contrasting conditions, history and performance generating contrasting reactions. The book compares changes between Northern and Southern European countries, bigger and smaller cities, over the past ten years. Across the continent social cohesion, community investment and social enterprise have gained momentum as Europe’s crowded, resource-constrained cities face up to environmental and social limits faster than other less densely urban countries, such as the US. The author presents a compelling framework to show that Europe’s cities are creating a new industrial economy to combat environmental and social unravelling.

Anne Power has worked and lived in inner city communities since the 1970s. She studied at Manchester, LSE, and in America. She worked with Martin Luther King’s End Slums campaign. She speaks Spanish, French, Italian and German, teaches and researches at the LSE and is an active participant in European city networks. A member of the Early Action Task Force, she served on the government’s Sustainable Development Commission from 1999-2009.
