Summery
The author discusses in twelve chapters the relationship between an inner city and its environment and he develops a concept of the city region, a concept, which explains, how a city is embedded in a region, how the region and the city are interdependently connected. The focus lies in the structural processes of the city development and in the administrative and political organisation of these processes by city planning and management of discourses between the several political actors in the city and the region.
We find there a lot of inspirations, how cities must define its identity in relationship to its urban or rural structured environment. Insofar the book should interest all other disciplines, which are dealing with the dialectic between the city as an urban structured social space or habitat and its environment, in which it is embedded.
The book is a text book too; the chapters are clear structured and offer a lot of explanations of terms and analytical accesses to the contents of the chapters.
