HOLLOW PROMISES: RHETORIC AND REALITY IN THE INNER CITY
libdoc November=1993

Author: KEITH, M. & ROGERS, A.
Publisher: MANSELL, 1991
Keywords: MDC, LDDC, UDC, THATCHERISM

Contents:
HOW USEFUL IS THE CONCEPT OF THE 'INNER CITY' IN A CRITICAL
ANALYSIS OF URBAN ISSUES? WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
RHETORICAL USE OF THE TERM IN POPULAR POLITICS AND THE REALITY OF
CITY LIFE? ARE INNER CITIES ONLY TO BE FOUND AS POCKETS OF
DEPRIVATION WITHIN AN AREA OF RELATIVE PROSPERITY, AS FOR EXAMPLE THE
EAST END IN LONDON OR THE BRONX IN NEW YORK. OR DO CITIES THAT ARE
TRAPPED IN DECLINING REGIONAL ECONOMIES SUCH AS PITTSBURGH IN THE
UNITED STATES AND NEWCASTLE IN BRITAIN ALSO DISPLAY DISTINCTIVELY
INNER CITY PROBLEMS. WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON AND WHAT ARE THE
IMPLICATIONS OF TYING THE MANIFESTATIONS OF URBAN CRISIS TO THESE PLACES
CALLED INNER CITIES?

Our work is only possible with your support.
