Across Europe concern is rising over the disintegration of social relations and the growing number of people who are being socially excluded. Social Exclusion in European Cities, the first major study of this topic, provides a definition of social exclusion, and looks at both the processes which cause it and the dimensions of the problem throughout Europe. The experiences of people living in areas or neighbourhoods with low rates of social inte~ation are considered, illuminating the human impact of exclusion where it is most visible. Finally the con~butors evaluate the various policy and community initiatives which are currently confronting the problem in a wide sample of European cities on a variety of IevelS, from informal individual actions to supra-national European Union policy, and suggest new wa:ys in which social exclusion could be tackled. With most large cities experiencing some degree of social exclusion, this is an important volume for all those working in the areas of regional p<>hcy, town plannin~ housing management, social work, commuruty development, sooology, political science and urban studies.
