Them and Us: Britain and the European City

Article

This discussion paper looks at what we might be able to learn from successful Europen cities.

We have long admired the best European cities, but haven't learnt enough from them. Recent UK urban policy has been heavily influenced by the US. However, European cities seem to do a lot better than American ones, and the UK government is now turning its attention to the most successful European city models. This discussion paper looks at what we can learn from these models.

Centre for Cities has re-launched as an independent think tank. You can visit them online at http://www.centreforcities.org.
