Published by Blackwell in association with the International Journal of Urban and
Regional Research. Series editors: Harvey Molotch, Linda McDowell, Margit Mayer,

The Blackwell Studies in Urban and Social Change aim to advancedebates and
empirical analyses stimulated by changes in the fortunes of cities and regions
across the world. Topics range from monographs on single places to large-scale
comparisons across East and West, North and South. The series is explicitly inter-
disciplinary; the editors judge books by their contribution to intellectual solutions
rather than according to disciplinary origin.
