Reclaiming the City: Mixed use development

Reclaiming the Citylooks at the way British cities are changing today. Over the past few years, increasing concern has been expressed about the vitality and viability of city economies and city centres. Increased car use and the "out-of-town" revolution have altered the way cities work. This book looks at the benefits of mixed use development, and examines the problems in obtaining such schemes, and considers the changes in both planning policy and commercial practice necessary to develop the approach further.
