This collection adds weight to an emerging argument that suggests that policies in place to make cities better places are inextricably linked to an attempt to civilize, pacify and regulate crime and disorder in urban areas. It provides focused discussions from a range of scholars who examine policy connections that can be traced between social, urban and crime policy and the wider processes of regeneration in British towns and cities

Was macht Gemeinschaft im Stadtleben aus? Gemeinschaft ist ein zentrales Konzept der Stadtforschung, aber begrifflich vage und empirisch schwer zu fassen. Zudem liegt der Fokus der wissenschaftlichen Erschließung zu oft einseitig auf stabilen Beziehungen zu Verwandten, Freunden oder Nachbarn. Talja Blokland leistet einen innovativen Beitrag zu Definition und Verständnis von Gemeinschaft und fasst diese gegen gängige Lehrmeinungen als gemeinsame urbane Praxis in einer globalisierten Welt auf. Damit bietet sie alternative Denkansätze für urbane Konfigurationen, die es uns ermöglichen, Gemeinschaft auf unterschiedliche Weise sowie als dynamischen Prozess zu begreifen.
