Description - Cities in the '90s by Stephen Young

Looking at the importance of local choice as the key to meeting local needs, this book deals with issues in city development during the next decade, drawing on the experiences of the 1980s to identify the most appropriate policies for the future. A range of possible approaches are set out which can help local authorities manage change in cities, and the book stresses the importance of local choice as the key to meeting local needs. In separate chapters, the authors address issues including Third Force Organizations; the role and value of public/private partnership organizations; the successes and failures of decentralization; lobbying tactics for Whitehall and Brussels to ensure the promotion of sympathetic politics; planning and green issues; and planning for minorities. The material focusses on British data and sifts through possible approaches to identify both best practice in relation to making policy decisions and a variety of choices for achieving their implementation.
