Description

In-depth analysis of market towns provides a framework for evaluating policy initiatives and progress in these communities. This volume explores key roles for market towns, including retirement, commuter, employment, service, tourist, and other centres, drawing on detailed case studies of over 200 towns. The authors consider the critical issues affecting market towns, such as increased personal mobility, aging populations, housing growth and affordability, and employment competitiveness. They set their findings in the context of past and current policy to identify future directions for sustainable communities. This comprehensive volume offers a wide-ranging discussion on market town development, appealing to those involved in practice, academics, and students working in rural and urban geography and planning.
