This
book discusses innovative responses and reforms developed in critical areas of
urban governance in European countries. It examines the impact of European
Union’s policies on the urban agenda and on local governance, and the impact of
the transition to democracy in Central and in Southern Europe on local
self-government systems. The book is divided into three parts: i) Crisis,
Reform and Innovation in Local Government; ii) EU Policies, the Urban Agenda
and Local Governance; and iii) Citizen Participation in Local Government.
Providing an extensive and updated overview of key challenges in the governance
of cities in Europe, the book will be of interest to students and researchers
in the broader field of urban studies, and for policy-makers, especially those
engaged in urban governance in European countries
