Abstract

The accelerating economic and social changes of recent years have given rise to a spatial distribution termed "restructuring." Places have been transformed through the developments taking place within them--shifts in the nature and quantity of paid and unpaid work, in social and political mobilization, in cultural and aesthetic experience, and in the built environment. In Restructuring: Place, Class and Gender, the authors analyze these transformations and combine an emphasis on place with an awareness that the developments covered involve every spatial scale from the local to the global. At the local level, this volume draws on the authors' research on change in the city of Lancaster, England. At the general level, the authors relate the local detail to the broader social scientific analysis of social and economic structure. This volume provides an important contribution to international debates on restructuring and the impact of global development on the locality. It will interest researchers and students in sociology, economic and human geography, and urban studies. "Very clearly written with a neat structure...this book represents a substantial contribution to the restructuring debate in a commendably interdisciplinary fashion. Like any such contribution it opens up as many new and exciting questions as it resolves in the realms of theory, method and practice." --Sociology "This book represents a substantial contribution to the restructuring debate in a commendably interdisciplinary fashion.
