Synopsis "City Regions and Devolution in the uk: The Politics of Representation (Civil Society and Social Change)"

ePDF and ePUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. In recent years, the ‘city region’ has seen a renaissance as the de facto spatial centre of governance for economic and social development. Rich in case study insights, this book provides an overview of city-region building and considers how governance restructuring shapes political, economic, social and cultural landscapes. Reviewing the Greater Manchester, Sheffield, Swansea Bay City Regions, Cardiff Capital Region and the North Wales Growth Deal, the authors address the tensions and opportunities for local elites and civil society actors. Based on abundant empirical material, situated within cutting edge academic and policy debates, this book is a timely and lively engagement with the shifting geographies of economic and social development in Britain.
