Description: Understanding Urban Policy : A Critical Introduction, Hardcover by Cochrane, Allan, ISBN 0631211209, ISBN-13 9780631211204, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Cochrane (public policy, Open U., UK) examines the emergence of urban social policy in the United Kingdom (with frequent cross reference to the United States). He is concerned with why particular problems are identified as requiring social policy intervention at particular times and why urban problems come to be defined or understood in particular ways, often in ways that differ markedly from the perceptions of those who are the apparent targets or supposed beneficiaries of policy. He takes a thematic approach to the subject, devoting individual chapters to issues of race and poverty, managerialism in the public sector, the concept of "community" in urban policy, urban disorder and social disorganization, the rise of urban entrepreneurialism, investment in cultural activities, and neoliberalism and the globalization of urban policy.
