"Shifting Sense offers much more than a standard collection of essays: it provides a clear and integrated view of possible regional and urban futures set within the contesting contexts of globalisation and an ever more intense search for local identity." AND "Making sense of what has taken place, and why, is a fundamental pre-requisite for making informed choices about the future; this book provides such a capability and illustrates the analysis through cases of both failure and success. But more than this, Shifting Sense also provides a rationale for innovation in policy and practice, and by doing this it allows the reader to comprehend both the scale of the challenge which confronts us and the great opportunities which exist." Peter Roberts, University of Liverpool, October 2005"
