Description

Explore the transformation of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, through this academic study from Routledge. This book examines the evolution of a contemporary small European city, tracking its development and the challenges it faces today. Once known as the world's 'coaltropolis,' Cardiff faced significant de-industrialisation when the demand for coal declined. This text follows the city's journey as it worked to address high unemployment and economic shifts. It provides a detailed look at the cultural and social reinvention that began in the 1980s and accelerated after Wales became a devolved nation in the late 1990s. Ideal for readers interested in urban development, landscape architecture, and social history, this book offers a deep look at how a major capital city adapts to changing economic landscapes and political shifts. It serves as a study of how urban environments change over time in response to global and local pressures.
