Book review: Britain’s cities, Britain’s future by Mike Emmerich

In Britain’s Cities, Britain’s Future, Mike Emmerich interrogates the long decline of UK cities since their nineteenth-century pomp and suggests policies that could ensure a future British ‘urban renaissance’. While the book gives insight into the latest thinking of those involved in UK urban policymaking, John Tomaney questions the extent to which the book contributes to understanding the real and pressing challenges currently facing UK cities.
