This book examines social sustainability and analyses its meaning and significance - an area of research which has, until now, been comparatively neglected. The authors offer a comprehensive European perspective to identify best practice in sustainable urban regeneration in five major cities in Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUrban Regeneration \u0026amp; Social Sustainability: best practice from European cities\u003c\/i\u003e examines the extent to which social sustainability is incorporated within urban regeneration projects in the EU, but also investigates how local authorities, developers, investors and other key stakeholders approach sustainability. The book covers the recent economic recession and the growth of responsible investment (RI) and corporate responsibility (CR) agendas of investors and developers. It also provides a thorough analysis of the current metrics and tools used by the public, private and NGO sectors to implement, measure and monitor social sustainability. A range of urban regeneration models and vehicles are reviewed, with a particular emphasis on public private partnerships (PPPs) and EU structural funds, and a new framework for assessing social sustainability is described.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCity-specific case studies examine regeneration projects in which institutional arrangements, financial products and tools, monitoring and measurement systems for social sustainability and stakeholders' participation in PPPs have delivered successful urban regeneration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive, systematic and authoritative overview of both the scholarly literature and current best practice across Europe makes the book essential reading for researchers and post-graduate students in sustainable development, real estate, geography, urban studies and urban planning, as well as consultants and policy advisors in urban regeneration and the built environment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a comprehensive European perspective, comparing case studies across five cities and identifying best practice in sustainable urban regeneration by focusing on social sustainability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefines and shows how social sustainability (a key aspect in sustainable development) can be assessed, measured and monitored within urban regeneration projects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTakes a real estate 'institutional' focus by examining the role of key stakeholders within the property development industry and the public sector\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines detailed studies of urban regeneration projects in Spain (Sant Adria de Besos), Italy (Turin), Netherlands (Rotterdam), Germany (Leipzig), and the UK (Cardiff)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSets the research in the context of the recent economic recession and the growth of responsible investment (RI) and corporate responsibility (CR) agendas of investors and developers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs based on a major three year independent, funded programme of research through the European Investment Bank's EIBURS programme.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Colantonio,Tim Dixon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1405194197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781405194198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.80w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 130","brand":"Andrea Colantonio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013916930303,"sku":"9781405194198","price":130.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be155d76-4810-400c-9a2e-b7e0fef37f41.jpg?v=1767745576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-regeneration-and-social-sustainability-andrea-colantonio-9781405194198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
