This major new book provides, for the first time, a detailed evaluation of policies on poverty and social exclusion since 1997, and their effects. Bringing together leading experts in the field, it considers the challenges the government has faced, the policies chosen and the targets set in order to assess results.

Urban Studies "... for a more informed understanding of just what has been happening since 1997, it is a great read." Regeneration & Renewal
