I agree with the comment by Urbanist and also wholeheartedly support the thoughtful comments within the review. I feel the book whatever it's faults is laudable in bringing forth a much need analysis and commentary regarding urban regeneration.

In Glasgow I have witnessed wave upon wave of misguided 'regeneration' over the last 15 years with very few people in positions of power and responsibility willing to recognise that there is a huge difference between community and geography. Whilst geographically discernible areas of Glasgow have been 'regenerated' a truly meaningful mode of delighting, empowering and building the capacity of the people and groups within these areas has been sorely lacking.
