This book shows the possibilities and some of the limits of policy efforts made by business and government to bring about the renewal of badly hit regional economies, whose dependence on industries of the earlier phases of industrialization left them vulnerable to deindustrialization.

He is well known for his research in urban and regional development, editorship of European Planning Studies, and for such books as Localities (editor), Back to the future and (with others) Towards global localization.
