Description

This Taylor & Francis book examines the profound transformation of urban centres over the past fifty years, exploring how population shifts, retail decline, and employment changes have reshaped towns and cities worldwide. The author analyses the exodus from central urban areas, the movement of retailing and jobs beyond city centres, and the structural impact of manufacturing decline on urban economies. A key focus is the emerging role of the meritocratic elite-those skilled in information technology and knowledge generation-as a dominant force in urban development. Their location choices and preferences increasingly determine where cities grow and thrive. This work provides essential insight into contemporary urban dynamics, economic restructuring, and the future trajectory of city planning in an information-driven economy.

Analyses the decline of central business districts and shift to peripheral development.
