Abstract
This third volume of the International Geographical Union Young
Scholars Committee focuses on the theme of transforming cities in a range
of international contexts from Europe to Japan. The individual chapters
focus on particular dimensions of that transformation – governance, social,
cultural and economic - drawing on on-going research from all of the
scholars included. Key concepts such as urban and regional development,
agents of change, urban structure and regeneration are examined. While the
focus is on particular case studies, we believe these issues are of importance
more generally and hope they provide a resource and contribute to a better
understanding of cities and urban processes in comparative perspective.
