Knights and Castles: Minorities and Urban Regeneration

Much has been written about the problems minorities encounter in Western European and North American cities. This volume acknowledges the deep-rooted nature of inequalities and discrimination, but seeks ways of ameliorating and eradicating them from positive stories of minority involvement in regeneration. Drawing on case studies from a number of countries in North America and Western Europe, the book interrogates the nature of minority status and explores the role of networking in empowering minorities in urban regeneration. Providing theoretical and practical lessons, it should be useful for anyone working in, researching or studying town planning, race and ethnicity, social and cultural geography and gender and ethnic politics.
