520			_aThe book Urban Transformations highlights the challenges that urban areas face due to economic restructuring and demographic change, particularly in neighborhoods that were previously dependent on industry and manufacturing. The book explores the impact of urban transformation on people's lives and interactions, and raises questions about who benefits from these changes. The authors argue that understanding the specific communities, spaces, and places is critical to delivering insights into how urban areas can successfully transform. The book offers case studies from various parts of the world, investigating urban change using different approaches. It also addresses the varying scales at which governance or regeneration initiatives operate, the nature and composition of urban communities, and the interests of different private sector actors. The book emphasizes the importance of identifying not only the drivers of regeneration but also its beneficiaries. It serves as a basis for future discussions on strategies for successful urban transformation and renewal. Overall, Urban Transformations offers insight into both the risks and rewards of building sustainable urban environments and highlights the importance of community, space, and place in urban policy and practice.
